Kali Gandaki gorge--rugged mountains and a few houses at the bottom of the mountains

Size: 675×1024

A group of houses at the bottom of the mountain by Kaali Gandaki River.

The Kali Gandaki River is one of the major rivers of Nepal and a left bank tributary of the Ganges in India. The headwaters of the river are formed at an altitude of 3,900 m (12,795 ft) in the Mustang region of Nepal, which borders Tibet. The river is notable for the deep gorge through which it flows and for a large hydroelectric facility in Nepal.
