Looking down from a small peak above the village of Tengboche, in Solukhumbu District, Nepal, at almost 4,000 meters above sea level, on February 26, 2016. Some 70 percent of Nepal's Solukhumbu District exists higher than 3,000 meters above sea level. Much of the terrain is barren, remote and hard to access, yet by the last census in 2011, some 105,886 people forged a living in its harsh climes.
