Karnali Diary- A Photo Blog (Part II, The Final One)


I was on a week long trek along the Karnali river for EIA survey of purposed Karnali Highway with a friend Nitesh Khadka. Our journey started from Jiteghat, Kalikot and ended at Rugin, Bajura (Humla border). One of the least developed and still untouched by the road, our 100 KM journey along the Karnali river to this region was one of a kind.

Spot the train! I mean Mule train. They are the basic goods carrier of this region.

Looking for something down? For sure this trail is not for the fainthearted.
A local guy walks along the sketchy section over Karnali supported by woods.

Nitesh bro crawling cautiously down the rocky trail of Ranga Gaunda, Bandhu Bajura.
Bajureli attire, an old man on traditional dress. This old man returning home after visiting relatives in Nepalgunj. He took a RA flight up to Kolti, Bajura and now walking back home (Rugin) with his son. Its a two day walk for him from Kolti.
Nitesh bro with locals at Jhogala, Bandhu. Its our shame, no one from our village have yet joined government job regrets the local. We work 6 months a year in India just to support our family's basic needs. We just carry cloths while returning back home, a local man said. 
A hotel owner poses for my camera after preparing noodles for us near Jhogala, Bajura. Hotels serving just tea and noodles are rarely found on the way.
Women works harder than men in far west. A women with load on her back walks towards Rugin, Bajura near Humla border.

Job done! Feeling relieved at Rugin. Bajura after finishing the survey.  Rugin borders both Mugu (on the right of photo) and Humla(on left).
