We also send volunteers to work in the village, in the school working with the teachers and the children and in the health post. Lungthung is remote to say the least. It's two days walk from the nearest road head. There is no electricity and water comes from plastic pipes tapped into streams on the hillside. There is poverty and ill health.
Villagers try to make an existence through subsistence farming and working as porters.
Unlike other, more widely known areas of Nepal such as the Everest and Annapurna regions, Lungthung does not benefit from the tourist trade. We will try to keep this site updated on a regular basis to inform readers of the progress of our project and to pass on more information about the village and village life. See you soon.
