Photos I

A selection of photos from the Guerrilla Trek

Village house and garage with parking for three cows

Corn drying in the early sun

The fields of Jelbang

The house where we stayed near Jemthang

Our overnight shelter

View from the first pass

Descending on snow on the northern side of the pass

Approaching the temple at Bujuthan

View from the Jaljala

Flowers were abundant high up

Descending towards Thawang

Window in Thawang

Inexplicable I

Inexplicable II

A wall of somewhat dubious role models

Beautifully stacked wood

Village window with hunting scene

View from our room in Lukum in the early morning

Lukum village with kids

It is a long climb to the pass

And a long way down on the other side

Approaching Taka

This was less bad than it looks

Chicken delivery boys

Kids assembled to watch us bathe

Girls working in the water driven flour mill

We stayed in a hut beside the bridge under construction

Female porters carrying steel roofing sheets

Resting on stone benches made for porters

Construction work in Dimurgaira

Mule train approaching

Path on the north side of the valley near Archalgaon

Sisne (5000m) in the early morning

Our hostess preparing decorations for the festival

The kitchen was a bit smokey at times

Welcoming archway at entrance to Kharabang

The peacock dance was a highlight

The boys in the first band

As ever the speeches were interminable

The boys in the second band

Chickens in a basket

Peaceful village scene

Pounding rice

Netball game across the river

Bee hive

Grinding stones

The girls of the family where we stayed

Sadly litter is everywhere and it's all local

Village fields near Syapru lake
