Outside of the cities many people have to rely on the old way of getting around. Its changing slightly but still this is a common sight in many rural villages in Chitwan and across the South. Hence why the pace of life is so slow there.

Everyone has to help, the sacks on these bikes are full of feed for the buffalos, cows and goats. Just to get these you have to make a several mile round trip.

Final one for the day, a regular sight in the village in fact in 4 years of being there I only saw one tractor working. Best thing with this one is this man has a mobile phone in his pocket and at one point was steering the plough with one hand and holding the phone with the other.
