This Nepal village has survived for 1,000 years. Now recurring floods threaten its future
Why it matters
Til, the most isolated village in Nepal's Limi valley, has endured for over a millennium but is now at risk from frequent floods. Following a devastating flood in May, residents evacuated and decided to relocate by the year's end due to the destruction of their homes and infrastructure. The village, culturally tied to Tibet, has a history of self-reliance but faces challenges from climate change and a declining population. Local activists are advocating for government assistance, but the community feels overlooked. As young people migrate to cities, the village's future hangs in the balance, with plans to preserve their cultural heritage even if they must leave.
