The Road to Kathmandu

We left base camp and instead of heading back to Shekar and the Freedom Highway, west to Nepal, we took a short cut. This is a shot from inside the jeep. Seventy kilometers of astonishingly bad, cow path, dirt roads through the high Tibetan plateau, often following stream beds and trails cut out of the side of cliffs. Not fun, and pretty hard on the kidneys to boot.
