That bridge is from eastern Nepal on Tamor river. The picture is from B. M. Niven's "The Mountain Kingdom: Portraits of Nepal and the Gurkhas." The book is available on amazon dot com. In the book, the caption for the picture reads "A bridge of heavy logs cantilevered out over the headwaters of the Tamur River, E. Nepal. "
