The women are walking towards the rice seedling "nursery", the light green patch near the center of the photo. In the photo below they will all sit down and begin stripping the tender, bright green rice seedlings from the water softened soil and tying them in bundles to be taken to the women planting the rice in the paddies that have been smoothed and filled with water.
The hills in the distance are towards the north and are the lowest foothills of the Himalayas
Rice seedling nurseries seen through the trees at the top of the field.
The rice seedlings are grabbed by hand in bunches and tugged gently out of the ground. Then one of the seedlings is wrapped around the bundle and tied so the bundle stays together until it reaches the women in the paddies.
