Caption: Date: 1967-09 Location: Surkhet Description: Five porters shown carrying the belongings of Peace Corps Volunteer Alan Fairbank on their way up the hill north of Birendranagar towards Dailekh 26 miles away—a two-day walk. Porters no longer need to do this work as buses and trucks can make their way to Dialkeh by a one-way unpaved road from Surkhet to Dailekh—not passable during the monsoon, of coure.
