It found more varied level of wellbeing in less remote communities and the perceived impacts of access to infrastructure on human wellbeing is higher in more remote areas. Notably, access to road received the highest priority among respondent followed by drinking water and irrigation. The methodology and findings of this study have practical implication for rural development in hills and mountains where human settlements are highly dispersed and access is the key to human wellbeing. KEY WORDS: Access to infrastructure; Human wellbeing; Happiness, Hills and mountains; Household survey, Rural Nepal Introduction Due to the very nature of the difficult geography and scattered settlement, human wellbeing in hills and mountains primarily depends on access to infrastructure services. Notably, 90% of the hills and mountain population lives in developing countries, and poor access to infrastructure is limiting their socioeconomic development. However, there is limited literature that examine the level of accessibility and its impacts on human wellbeing and happiness in such regions. This article documents the level of access and examines its perceived impacts on the key elements of both subjective as well as objective human wellbeing in three villages that belong to the hilly mountainous region of Nepal.
