Tupche, 2000
While walking through Tupche, I happened to see this young girl as she was about to step down a ladder.

In the above photo from 2000, you can see the bridge that crosses the Falakhu river—tributary to the mighty Trishuli—in the background.
Below is a June 2011 photo taken looking up the Falakhu river from the middle of that bridge.
