Darjeeling, India - A Mountaineer's House

1912

A mountaineer's house in Darjeeling, Bengal, India. The roof of the house is made of old sheets of tin. Three men, a goat, and a boy in a turban are sitting beside the house, with a bucket and a basket nearby. A muddy dirt road comes up to the house. A peak of the Himalaya Mountains is visible in the background, as Darjeeling is located near the mountain base, (1912).
