One Sentence Summary: The article explores the history and impact of transportation infrastructure on Jiri valley in Nepal.

Description: The article explores the history and impact of transportation infrastructure on the Jiri Valley in Nepal. The Jiri Valley was once isolated from other parts due to lack of transportation facilities. The Swiss Association for Technical Assistance (SATA) initiated a multipurpose development project in 1957. With the infrastructural developments, social and political changes were seen. The facility of transportation has caused changes in all major aspects of Jirel subsistence patterns and the economy. The article discusses the sociocultural consequences of transportation in the Jiri valley. The article concludes that the road has had a significant impact in the district as a whole.
