Bhotkhola, a rural municipality in Sankhuwasabha District of Province No. 1, Nepal, is a remote and mountainous area near the Nepal-China border.
According to the 2011 census, Bhotkhola had a population of 6,576
distributed across five administrative wards, covering an expansive area of
639 square kilometers. Access to essential services in Bhotkhola is severely limited due to its rugged terrain and lack of transportation infrastructure. Villagers often rely onmules and porters to transport supplies from neighboring regions, significantly driving up the cost of goods and services. The area's isolation and logistical challenges contribute to persistent issues with food security and healthcare. Healthcare Challenges: Healthcare in Bhotkhola is particularly strained, with a notable lack of medical facilities and trained professionals. Residents often endure long and arduous journeys to access even basic medical care. Food insecurity andlimited access to nutritious foods further exacerbate common health problems. These issues are compounded by frequent supply shortages, worsened by the closure of border points with Tibet. Bhotkhola relies heavily on cross-border trade for essential supplies, making the region vulnerable to acute shortages during any disruptions. The lack of resources, combined with harsh environmental conditions, places immense strain on the health and well-being of the local population.
