Children of Nepal 1
We met this little girl in a village we trekked through. Cautious at first, she was a real giggler later. Couldn't get her to stop laughing.

On that same trek. The composition and background are not the best, but I think she has an angelic face...

As I was huffing and puffing up the mountainside, clutching my chest and trying to breath, I met this woman. Don't know how old she was, but she ran up the hill past me like I was standing still.

Met these kids by the trail as we went up they were coming down. As they rounded the corner they ran into 6 big sweaty white guys. Stopped them in their tracks. After a minute they really warmed up and were laughing with us. Or were they laughing at us?

The girls there love to be feminine. Jewelry and dresses are common for any girl of any age.

This series of shots was taken at a hotel I was staying at. There was a foot path that cut through the hotel property from the valley below up to a road to get to school. These kids wanted their picture taken, we obliged...

These guys couldn't get enough, they wanted to be in every shot.
Children of Nepal 15
The kids were stopping right by the hotel because there was a water faucet where they stopped and washed up before moving on, thus the wet faces.

The stupa at Swambu is on a hill top. All around the base of the hill is a path and thousands of prayer wheels. Pilgrims come here to walk around and turn the prayer wheels.

Also at Swambu. Every face has a story to tell.
