Orientation

I particularly like this map because it not only highlights Kathmandu, but the red also distinguishes the boundary of the 5 districts that separate the country.  The north side of each district includes the Himalaya Mountain range along the Chinese boarder and the south side is the hilly and plains area which borders India.  

Just for orientation, I want to share a great map with you - it came to me courtesy of a former classmate of mine, Sheila Daunt, whose organization, Search for Common Ground, has done some work in Nepal.  The map highlights the districts that SCG did in Nepal for the purpose of peacekeeping.

Next weekend I will be traveling to Kalikot, a remote mountainous village in the "Mid Western" Region of Nepal to see how the villagers live and receive healthcare services.  More to follow.  Enjoy your weekend!
