historical, people here flourished as tradrs, using goats and sheep as pack animals to carry grain from the plains up to tibet, and bartering it for salt on the plateau. but the regain now suffers from food insencurity, health problems, and lack of livelihood options.
the reasons include the end of the tibet trade, the emergence of roads and markets, a decerse in livestock numbers caused by new grazing rectrictions, the destructions of local infrastruture during the maoist insurgency, and an increase in populations.
must now farm for a living, but agriculture ayield are low because of the steep terrin, lack of irrigations, destructions of crops by pests, and antiquated technology. most fimilies can grow enough food to last only four or five months of the year. for the remaining they must purchase or brrowed food. but cash os scarce, so people rely heavily on subsidsed food and loans.
the nearest health post is a two day walk away, time that farmers cannot afford, particullary during the busy harvest seasons. tuberculosis and gastrointestinal illnesses are pervasive and exacerbate the symptoms of malnutritions. many homes do not have toilets, and hygiene is poor.
