Construction worker at Tanglang la

We saw him from our bus on Tanglang la.

Hailing from far off places, these road maintenance workers stay on these mountain passes for 4-5 months a year when the road is open for traffic.

In these months, they earn around Rs.20K to take back home.

The only highlight of their day is the 2-3 buses that cross this road. Otherwise they completely disconnected from civilisation.

Hats off to their endurance!
