Himalayan roadbuilding (89)

On the truck journey down the Leh-Manali highway I saw these young guys building the road. It was a sight I shall never forget, very shocking. I took a few photos from the moving truck I was travelling in.
I have never seen anything like this before or since.
I remember reading somewhere about the number of people killed building this 'highway' but I cant find oit now - it was a lot. They were very young, at a guess I would say many were around 14.
