Near Kathmandu, Nepal

1948

Volkmar Wentzel

"Instead of cars carrying workers, Nepal has workers carrying cars on
the rocky, hilly trail from Kathmandu. Here automobiles, stripped of
wheels and bumpers, are shoulder-borne to and from the capital, the
only Nepalese city with modern roads. This old German-made Mercedes is
going to India as a trade-in on a shiny American model. Some 60
coolies, moving to the rhythm of a chant, balance it on long poles."

From "Peerless NepalA Naturalist&#039s Paradise," National Geographic
magazine, January 1950
