BAATO
The stories presented in Baato (n. [Nepali] 1. path, trail 2. way 3. road) follow the route of a partially complete trans-national highway project that promises to transform this roadless Himalayan valley permanently, opening up a direct transport route between China & India. With the new road will come new challenges, new opportunities, and ultimately a new way of being to those who live along its path. It serves as a document of a time and place - one that details life in the Himalayas before a new highway forever transforms this mountainous landscape.
