Tuin
A tuin is a type of hand-powered aerial lift that is used in the Himalayas to cross fast flowing rivers, deep gorges and to get to other surrounding areas where there aren’t any bridges.
It is mostly used in undeveloped areas in countries like Nepal where bridges or safer options are hard to construct or very expensive. This type of aerial lift can hold a small amount of people, but the number depends on the weight limit and size of the platform.
