The fuel shortage in Nepal has made it extremely difficult and expensive to get things done. It’s amazing anything gets done. There’s a photo on their website of people lined up for a mile or so to get fuel. People wait in line for days and rotate with friends and family members to use the restroom. And obviously transport costs are now sky high, assuming you can even find trucks with fuel.
