EBC 2: Hillary Suspension Bridge...

We started encountering porters carrying a wide variety of goods on some of the bridges.
The highest suspension bridge in the area was the Hillary Bridge, named in honor of Sir Edmund Hillary, the first non-Nepalese to climb Everest in 1953.
At 370 feet (113 meters) long and 425 feet (130 meters) high, it isn’t the highest in the country but was our highest.
Looking down at the earlier disused bridge above the raging Dudh Kosi River...
...and the view upstream.
Terri and I were good about getting photos of each other crossing almost every bridge.
Check out this crazy wide load.
Look, no fear!
The view from the opposite side was also spectacular.
