Life of himalayan girl belonging to poor family is tough. By the time they reach 8-10 years,they found themselves helping mothers in households and they are usualy married in early age...and then supports full family of thier husbands.

As they are spine of thier homes...life is constant wheel of routine and hard work.
They do not have much health problems as compared to himalayan man...ASTHMA and CHEST INFECTION comes in late stages where wood burning and constant exposure to SMOKE is there.
I do not see much gynaecological problems and pregnancy are usualy handled locally.
Family planning has slowly slowly came in scene but still people are hesitant to adapt it...but there is always light !!
