About every 20 km, you could see crumpled burned wreckage of public buses below that went over road cliff edge.
We have it Soooo Good here.
Remind me not to go on a road trip in Nepal.

I’ll never trust my Garmin again.
Going downhill seems easy enough.
Give me the name of that busline. I want to send my Mother-in-Law on a vacation trip to Nepal.
Remember the prayer “ Lord, keep bus on road.”
