The children climb in and out of the village via the ladder on their way to and from a boarding school where they study. Just to get home from school, they climb 800 metres toward the sky — on a ladder made of bamboo and secured to a sheer cliff face. The ladder secured to a cliff is the only way in and out of the community. (Associated Press)The bamboo ladder is the only means of access to the village to which the 15 children age 6-15 return every two weeks from the school at which they board. Local officials say the ladder will be replaced by steel stairs.
