Sama Gaun is a village development committee in Gorkha district in the Gandaki Zone of northern- central Nepal in Mount Manaslu. It has a population of approximately 1000 villagers from 200 households. Sama Village is one of the 10 villages situated deep within the Nubri Valley of Mount Manaslu, the world's eighth highest mountain in the spectacular Himalayan mountain range at 8,156 metres (26,759 feet). The village lies within the restricted Manaslu Conservation Area, more than 3000 metres above sea level.
Because of its geographical location, Nubri Valley is one of the most isolated areas in the Himalayan border region. It is not accessible by road and the only mode of transportation is either by trekking through the mountainous terrain for 6 days from Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu, or by air via helicopter, which local people can ill-afford.
This region of Nepal is a place of stunning physical beauty. But unfortunately, it also faces a harsh climate, high illiteracy rate, high infant mortality and extremely limited medical and physical infrastructure. This makes Sama Gaun village one of the poorest in Nepal.
