Near Muktinaath, Nepal, a stone pathway parallels an irrigation canal. The silhouettes of mountain peaks tower in the background. More than 80 percent of the landmass of Nepal consists of mountains and mountain valleys. Terraced fields are carved out through generations of human labor during several decades.
