A note on villages: many villages in Nepal are spread out. People in rural areas don't bunch their homes together. There can be as much as 500 ft between neighbors, but they all consider themselves part of a village.
Hope this helps. Suzan On May 14, 2015, at 7:18 AM, Steve Bower wrote: Pierre noted, "If road connect villages, indicate minimally highway=tertiary. If unpaved, add the tag surface=unpaved." We might need some guidance on what constitutes a village for this purpose, for example, minimum number of buildings.

If they are roughly two lane and long, then use highway = tertiary.

You can see the description in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads Thanks, Megha He, all, I read the instructions for tagging roads on Task #1043. However, there is no tag for roads that fall between highway=secondary and highway=track. What about the unpaved, but maintained roads between small villages? These are roads that we might tag highway=unclassified in the U.S. These roads often are (barely) two lanes. They're definitely larger than a typical track. Do we tag those highway=secondary also?
