This truck was battling the ups and downs:
Roads are in good condition. A couple of potholes nearer to the dam but on average very good:
Amazing Scenery:
Do not stop until you get into the mountains. The locals are friendly and wave and greet. Once you stop they come from out of nowhere and surround you to beg for food, money and sweets. If this happens, take the sweets and throw it as far as you can and if possible over the nearest edge. This is not very polite, but efficient. They start fighting each other if you want to hand the sweets out in an orderly fashion.
Some locals:
Look how close the villages are to the road. Here you don’t encounter any businesses or shops. Only villages of small farmers depending on their live stock and crops to stay alive.
