Terres Himalayennes -Part. 1.

Un grand et fascinant périple à travers le Royaume du Bhoutan, le Sikkim, le Népal et le Bengale Occidental, à la rencontre des peuples, des cultures et des paysages grandioses dominés par les Annapurna, l'Everest et le Kangchenjunga...


A great and fascinating journey through the Kingdom of Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and West Bengal, meeting peoples, cultures and grandiose landscapes dominated by the Annapurna, Everest and Kangchenjunga...


Pour ce qui concerne le Bhoutan, le guide Olizane réalisé par Françoise Pommaret m’a été d’une aide précieuse. Tibétologue, Françoise Pommaret vit au Bouthan où elle travaille à l’Université Royale.
Elle est diplômée en histoire de l’art et en archéologie (Paris Sorbonne). Elle parle le tibétain et la langue officielle bhoutanaise, le Dzongkha.

As for Bhutan, the Olizane guide by Françoise Pommaret has been of great help to me. Françoise Pommaret lives in Bouthan, where she works at the Royal University.
She has a degree in art history and archaeology (Paris Sorbonne). She speaks Tibetan and the official Bhutanese language, Dzongkha.

Thanks for another tour of Bhutan. This series is even more informative, and the images are even more colourful. Taking portraits is your expertise, really exquisite close-ups. From what I have observed after viewing your galleries of Myanmar, Bali, India, and now Bhutan within less than two months, the Bhutanese seem to be more conservative. Partly it could be the tough georgraphical conditions and the brutal winters they have to deal with. I have yet to view the Part II to understand more about their daily life and religion, etc. Thanks so much for sharing. ~VVVV~
