[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today the first photo north of Kathmandu. After Dhunche is traffic besides feet impossible.
We go direction Tibet plateau. On this track to the real high mountains we meet several people of several tribes. Were the go and why we don’t know. Sometimes you see a transport of sick child. The have to walk for day’s to find a doctor or medicine man.

Maar morgen begint het pad door de Himalaya met eerst een busreis van 80 km waar we pakweg 10 uur over gaan doen. We vertrekken 's-morgens vroeg van een vuilnisbelt waar mens en dier van loopt te eten. De bus staat hoog op de wielen, dit om door de kuilen in de weg te gaan die zo diep als een schuttersputje zijn. Ook moeten we regelmatig stoppen om de bladveren van de bus weer op hun plaats te helpen. Uiteindelijk komen we aan in Dhunche, een soort western dorp maar dan met Nepalezen. Morgen vertrekken we in de richting van de Tibetaanse hoogvlakte en dan zijn er alleen nog maar bergpaden.

The story makes me appreciate the fact that I am 10 minutes away from every convenience...

Good morning TL-world.
In pyama at my laptop / I cleaned up the kitchen because our dog is ill.
These nomads have different problems. Illness can be fatal, we have medical help within 10 minutes at the front door.
I see in their eyes some reproach; but perhaps it's only my perception.
Good morning Ruud and thanks for the starting point on this day.

The various moments of Life... Here we have everything and we crib... There they have nothing but they live in peace... But sometimes, the peace is shattered... Great catch Ruud... I like the notes... The expression speaks a lot... The noise is very evident but for such kind of shots which so human life, it can be avoided... Thanks for sharing ...

Take care...
- Hima.

Geweldig Ruud !

Hello agian:) a great daily life photo and you caught interesting expressions on their faces. As you've been to Nepal, may I ask if you attempted the Everest? or Base Camp? Amazing views in Kathmandu, I wish I could be there one of these days.

Shelly.
