Brokpas.

Radi. East Bhutan

Les Brokpas, constituent une ethnie de semi-nomades, éleveurs de yaks. Ils habitent les hautes vallées de l’est à trois jours de marche de Trashigang. Il est donc très difficile d’en rencontrer. Ils ne descendent que pour faire des achats en ville tel ce couple que nous avons aperçu dans une petite ville de l’est du Bhoutan où nous avions passé la nuit. Ils étaient tout aussi étonnés que nous de cette rencontre.

The Brokpas are a semi-nomadic group of yak herders. They live in the high eastern valleys three days' walk from Trashigang. So they are very difficult to meet. They only go down to make purchases in town like this couple we saw in a small village in eastern Bhutan where we had spent the night. They were just as surprised as we were at that meeting.

A very engaging portrait of this couple. Great documentation of their clothing, hair styles, etc. I am curious, in general are people in Bhutan receptive to having their picture taken? Did you have a translator? ~BV~

What a great looking couple. So natural, slightly surprised, and I love the woman's hair!

A fine portrait, but not quite sure what to make of those expressions.
