Mahendra got really worked up when we came across these women loading their harvest of wood and fodder onto a truck. Women have to traverse such long distances to get their wood and fodder requirements now that it is no longer feasible to walk. We saw this about 20 kms. Downstream from Uttarkashi.
Women and girls carrying massive loads of fodder from the hilltop down to Bemru. I could not lift a load without assistance and then could barely walk.

Shots of a rock about 30 kms. From Tehri on the Uttarkashi road Mahendra said this rock evidences the fact that this area (where the Tehri dam is being built) is siesmically active (unstable?).
