Landslides Pasang Lhamu Highway
On our way back from Dhuche to Kathmandu we had to pass several landslides areas along the Pasang Lhamu Highway. The highway was destroyed at five different places and we had to walk for one hour to pass this area and to reach the bus to Kathmandu. Some parts were pretty dangerous as big rocks were still rolling down every now and then, so we had to hurry when passing those areas.
