Narrated by PATRICK ALLEN
The Kali Gandaki in central Nepal is an unnavigable river. Yet besides the one. often impassable road through the Mahabarat Range it is the only means of communication in a vast mountainous area where disease and poverty are rife. Using lightweight hovercraft, a British Joint Services Expedition took up the challenge and, if the machines made it, they might become river ambulances for the United Mission Hospital.
