This is one of my favorite pics from the road down to Chitwan. The road curves through the steep foothills along the Trisuli river, which ebbs ands flows from monsoon deadly to tamer during the dry season. Holly saw it post-monsoon and said the churning waters looked “wicked”. To provide some perspective, if you look just below the center, there is a 2 story Nepali home on the hillside. The hills are so steep and high! On the far right is the road up ahead. As that road is a major highway, the people can walk to the nearest tandem crossing (or a metal cord with a box cage that you physically pull across) to have access to selling their produce roadside or catching public transport to a village market. A few weeks ago, small tangerines called “suntallahs” were selling for 35 rupees/kilo (~50 cents). Tis the season.
