For Bhotekoshi flood survivors, the tuin is an ordeal

Residents in Nuwakot, Nepal, who survived the Bhotekoshi floods are facing significant hardships due to the loss of traditional infrastructure. To cross the river, survivors must travel five to six hours to reach a 'tuin,' an improvised cable crossing system, and endure additional wait times of four to five hours to complete the transit.

The reliance on these makeshift cable crossings highlights the ongoing logistical challenges and isolation faced by flood-affected communities in the region. The time-intensive process of using the tuin underscores the severity of the infrastructure damage following the floods.
