Caption: Date: 1969 Location: Sahartara, Dolpa Description: Plowing a field near Sahartara village. Note that the plow is pulled by a single bullock, unlike elsewhere in Nepal, India, and China, where two bullocks are standard. One possible explanation is that many of the fields are etched onto narrow terraces on the steep hillsides, leaving inadequate width for more than one bullock.
