Fossil Hunting Dhye River Mustang Nepal

Trekking along the rocky banks of the Dhye River in Upper Mustang, Nepal, we stopped to search for ancient marine fossils - a fascinating glimpse into the region's prehistoric past when the mighty Himalayas were once submerged under the Tethys Sea. It's incredible to hold a 150 million-year-old fossil in your hand and imagine the journey it took to get there. - By Nicholas Eager
