These trucks are a part of lifeline of remote villages in India. It is amazing how much life depends on these vehicles to provide, food & supplies in the far flung areas.

The vehicles itself are marvelous & omni-present. They can be found everywhere in India, whether it be the high-speed highways in the plains, or extreme heights up in the Himalayas. Thus the ground clearance of these vehicles are always kept quite high to enable them to cover every kind of roads.

We found very little of them on our way to Batal in Himachal Pradesh, from Rohtang pass. I guess the bad road conditions deters them to take this route, and instead primary supplies come in from the Kinnaur side to Spiti.
