A steep, forested mountain valley photographed from above on a rainy-season day. A narrow metal-railed footbridge with a concrete deck crosses the gorge diagonally, and a line of pilgrims in orange, white and maroon clothing walks along it, some carrying bags. In the lower right, a rough road along a red-railed edge holds a group of people on horseback and on foot; a man in white clothing with a light-coloured hat leads the way beside a horse with a red-and-white saddle cloth. Lush green trees and shrubs fill the slopes, and a stone path with railings runs along the far cliff.
