Caption: Date: 1971 Location: Chainpur, Bajhang Description: Crossing a monsoon-swollen stream. Each monsoon the stream washes out the bridge and farmers who have to access their fields on the other side make the rope crossing, using a "Y" shaped wood-and-rope sling by which they suspend themselves from the main rope, pulling themselves along hand-over-hand.
