Why Our Kids Don't Go Home for Holidays


First, they have to get to the end of the road


Then they start climbing
Sleeping rough or in villages along the way.


Paying villagers for their meals, sleeping under leaves


Trekking through the jungle


Higher and higher they
climb


Into Buddhist
territory

 


Over suspension
bridges


Or not


Washed out bridges can add up to 21 days and
sometimes people are swept away.

 


That's glacial melt.
