A photograph of a rushing, turbulent river cascading over tiered pale and orange-streaked rock ledges in a steep Himalayan gorge. Churning white water foams at the lower left while a stone embankment and loose boulders line the right side. A thin cable runs across the frame in front of the rocks, and a few small shrubs grow from the cliff. Wooden and concrete buildings with tin roofs sit on the slope at the top. No people are visible.
