A line of people carrying slates on a narrow path in nepali mountains.
Not only the slates are heavy but the steep slopes make it even more difficult! The slates tiles can be collected for the purpose of villagers willing to built a house, the slate being used for the roof. But the reason why nepali people walk miles in the steep mountains to gather slate tiles can also be to sell them or bargain them with other goods.
