Rural Indian driving (2)

This road is actually better than the one in Rural Indian driving (1) used to be. It's narrower, the other one was wide enough for two trucks to edge past each other in most places, but it's in much better condition. That's partly because it's much less heavily used, with lighter vehicles, and partly because the other road goes through steep, winding sections in the mountains - which get very messy very quickly when it rains hard and there's a lot of HGVs.

The end of this video is close to the point where we forded the river in December: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaNnizfVv3Y - this time the river was too deep to ford, and we crossed by boat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi4c84c_Zl4 (that's actually on the way back).
