    To get to school, work, or another town in Nepal, it helps if you don't have a fear of heights.

Find out how building and re-building bridges became a part of the nation's culture, and how trusting that a treacherous trip is worth the risk shapes the way the Nepalese perceive connection, community, and what in life we ought to hold onto.
