Kangel is a village development committee in the southern part of the Solukhumbu District in the Sagarmatha Zone of north-eastern Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 2087 people living in 416 individual households.
According to the census in 2011 female literacy was 55% while male literacy was 73%

The aiport at Kangel has the advantage (according to Netra) of planes being able to land from two directions.

Most of the roads are still under construction 

Walking is always an option, but some of the slopes are very steep.

There was a young girl under this load of hay.  One reason why female literacy is so low is a reflection of the status of women.  The girls are expected to help in the home and the fields.
