Karnali Bridge, western Nepal


Karnali Bridge, western Nepal, originally uploaded by rustyproof.

The 500 metre Karnali Bridge crosses the Karnali River in a remote part of western Nepal. Built by the Japanese, it was inaugurated by Nepal's Prime Minister, Girija Prasad Koirala, in December 1993. The small village on the far side is Chisapani. The road is the Mahendra Highway, a main east-west link through Nepal's terai region. Photo taken in December 2009.
