Life of bus drivers in the hills of Nepal

The bus drivers roaming around the corners of Nepal is not easy, especially during rainy season. No wonder there are so many accidents throughout the year. We made one such trip to Beni, almost 12 hours ride from Kathmandu. In the early morning, we saw what is the daily routine of some people - drive, clear rocks, drive....


The first point on the way to Beni where water obstructed the road. There are lots of such cuts on the way.





Finally the bus made through. It was chilling to see the stone eroded under the wheels.

Now this took lots of time. Wide cut.

The bus staff had the right tools to deal with such environment.


I wonder what happened to that micro-van behind. It must have little clearance to move through the hill of rocks
