the old lady and the mountain
Spiti, one of the remotest regions in Himalaya, has human settlements scattered in far distances up in the high mountains Roadway infrastructure is neither modern, nor well maintained. It is a practice of the local tribal communities to restore the existing roads by themselves as community works. Every house in the village has to send a volunteer, or pay the charges of a worker. This old lady, cheerful and energetic, is enjoying her work.
