Caption: Date: 1975-10
Location: Jumla, Jumla
Description: Main street of Jumla the capital of Jumla District. The town consisted of a few government offices and a few tea shops. The Jumla airport is near by. Due to the limited space in the valley approaching planes had to circle behind a hill which blocked a view of the airport and then come upon the runway sight unseen until the last moment before landing. Scary to watch. Keywords: Nepal Photo History Project, Peace Corp Photo History, Peter Von Mertens, community, landscape, street scene, town, village
