A photograph of a steep, misty Himalayan valley with dense green slopes and a rushing grey-white river winding through the gorge. A narrow road runs down toward a sloped white corrugated-roof shelter and concrete blocks, beside a small grey-roofed checkpoint booth with a red-and-white striped barrier arm marked STOP. Construction equipment and tents are visible further along the valley. A lone man in a blue jacket and grey trousers walks along the road at left. Clouds drift over the ridges.
