Over the centuries, the unique chang–rong (north–south) connect between Humla, Nepal, and Pulan County in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China has nurtured common cultural, environmental, and socioeconomic values.

Reviving these connections could help develop cross-border trade and tourism, while conserving the local environment and rich cultural heritage.
