The mountains in the background lay, I do believe, in the Nanda Devi National Park where peaks were in the 6200 meter (20,000ft) and up range.

Rob > Though they don't look like any of the images of 'dung beetles' that I found on the web, they sure looked like 'em there on the ground rolling along a ball of dung.

Rob > There was a whole troop of monkeys climbing around this particular road-side rest stop surviving on the refuse that all the bus passengers and drivers, in typical Indian style, just threw out.  The whole scene was pretty gross, actually.
