Bemni sits beneath the peaks of Nanda Devi and Trishul at an elevation of 9,000 feet (2,700 m). As of 2003, Bemni had no paved road into town. People had to walk uphill to reach the isolated village. There was no electricity or telecommunication infrastructure, and schooling stopped at grade five. This situation was addressed in recent years with the building of a road and new schools; and the installation of electricity and telecommunication towers.^[2] The major crops in the area are pulses, barley, wheat, and hay. The fields in which these crops are grown are carved out of the mountainside, using cattle pulling wooden ploughs, and then harvested by hand with the use of sickles.^{[citation needed]}
