Metal Head (Annapurna, Nepal, 2005)

The people inhabiting highlands of Annapurna are known to be powerful and are the main material of the famous Gurkha soldiers. A man is powerful enough to lift carcass alone, and even the women in Manang region may carry 30 liters of water by hanging the burden on their head, climbing up and down the mountains.
