Locals forced to walk across frozen Nyalu Pass to reach Limi
Residents travelling from Kathmandu to Limi, a remote village in Namkha Rural Municipality-6 in Humla, are being forced to walk across frozen snow at Nyalu Pass, which lies at an altitude of around 5,000 metres. Snow that has accumulated since mid-November has yet to be cleared, leaving locals with no option but to travel in groups across the icy pass.
