Lamabhakar, a small mountain village in Nepal, situated 1954 meters (6410 ft) high. The weather there is not severe, with ample natural water resource, full sunlight and sandy loam soil, villagers can grow many different fruit and vegetable. It is an almost self-sufficient village. They said because this place is close to the boundary, it was a forbidden area, no road for cars to access, and outside people are restricted to enter it. Now due to the construction of hydropower plant which is a deal between China and Nepal, the entry is opened up.
