Caption: Date: 1970
Location: Hile, Dhankuta
A head Lama from "the north" visited Hile; he is arriving at the northeast side of Hile's main street, the trail coming from Pakhribas. He arrived with a large procession and with great fanfare. He spoke only Tibetan. The hills in the background formed a distinctive backdrop to Hile and were undeveloped (no terracing).
