Climbing the mountain trails

Climbing the mountain trails

Three men are climbing uphill along a mountain trail in Nepal. In the middle ground we see a Peepal Tree, which is worshiped by Hindus as a reincarnation of Vishnu, the god of protection. Behind the tree a patch of thatch grass is visible. In the mountains, these grass patches are privately owned and maintained, and they provide an annual supply of thatches for roofing the houses.
