A misty mountain roadside in the Himalayas under low grey clouds. Steep green forested slopes rise on both sides, with cloud drifting over the peaks. On the left, a makeshift shelter with a dark tarpaulin roof and a blue sheet stands beside stacked timber, and two saddled pack horses with red and white saddle cloths stand near it. Several people in layered jackets and woollen caps move along the gravel path; one man in a brown jacket holds a horse's lead rope. On the right, a man in a red and blue jacket and a bundled load are visible. Overhead telephone wires cross the scene.
