The village of Shivalaya is an important stopping place on the old trading route to the high Himalaya regions and Namche Bazaar. The ever advancing road head has not reached Shivalaya yet and it retains its importance despite increased air travel. The permanent bridge makes life easier and safer for travellers and allows travel during the monsoon, if the paths are open. . Eastern Nepal. October 1999.
