In December 2006, Mission East carried out a detailed needs assessment in the remote Karnali region of Nepal to see what help they could provide to the villages there (following on from the initial needs assessment carried out in October 2006). These are some of the photos of the journey to the region. You can read more about why we made the trip here or view some of the photos of the needs assessment.

1) Commentary from Graeme Glover...."18 December 2006....a great relief that we have managed to fly to Nepal's most northerly airport - in Simikot (Humla). A combination of weather and the quality of the airfield makes flights to this northwestern corner irregular. For the next 11 days we will see no transport and will be walking down the Karnali river until we reach Bajura. Then we will fly out from there."
