No Helicopters here! | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
The Laban Rata mountain hut has a dinner buffet and a grocery store! How does all this product get up there? Helicopters are too expensive. This is one of the many restaurant porters. Each carries between 35-50 Kgs! And some were smoking cigarettes on the way up. Man I felt like a wimp. One of the porters are a woman around my age! (40-something) I think we've forgotten how to work hard in the west.

Sur cette fière et belle montagne nous avons vécu des heures de fraternelle, chaleureuse et exaltant la noblesse. Ici, pendant quelques jours, nous avons cessé d'être les esclaves et les ont vraiment été des hommes. Il est difficile de revenir à la servitude. (Lionel Terray)
