Description: Kausi Bahadur Rai crossing makeshift bamboo bridge with heavy load. Bridge is constructed by two groups of men planting bamboo polls in ground and then moving out along them together every 6 or 8 feet. Lashing the polls from both sides together was the job of a young man with much instruction from both sides. Handrails added later.
