High-altitude living in Nepal

Overview

High-altitude living in Nepal requires adaptation to cold, wind, limited agriculture, seasonal access, and reduced oxygen environments.

Settlement systems

Mountain settlements are shaped by slope, water access, pasture systems, trade routes, monasteries, and seasonal isolation.

Daily life

Food storage, livestock, fuel management, clothing, architecture, and migration patterns are central to high-altitude livelihoods.
