A Rough Road to Nepal

The super-highway from base camp to Nepal. This, it turned out, was a piece of cake compared with what was to come. The high Tibetan plateau, about 70 km across, is like the face of Mars. The road is a cow path, and often follows stream beds or shelves carved out of the sides of steep mountains. Little did we know when we set out for Nepal, that the road would abruptly end and we would find ourselves on foot.
