The Himalayan Transport Yes, yaks and mountain buffaloes are their only vehicles in villages above 3000 meters. They carry rations to gas cylinders and cover a distance of 20-40 kilometers in a day quite easily to move from their village to the nearest town for refilling, at that unearthly high altitude! Mostly these hanging metal bridges which sway freely with the afternoon mountain breeze are their only connection to the civilization. But as I said 'civilization' don't misunderstand them as illiterate. When I had asked the man in golden jacket "where's your village?" in Nepali, all I heard was a short clear reply in lucid English- "Behind those mountains, there lies our village"! The river below the bridge is Kali Gandaki and the location is lower Mustang, Nepal.
