More than a week after devastating floods swept through the area, the crossing has become a vital link for communities cut off after roads and bridges were destroyed. The Nepal Army installed the roughly 250-metre cable crossing in Bidur to help people move between the riverbanks.
The footage shows the difficult conditions facing flood-affected communities in Nuwakot as efforts continue to provide a precarious but essential route across the Trishuli.
