| Baby photographed on 27th September, 2010. The future of most of the babies are decided. If it is a girl, she would manage the restaurant and if it is a boy, he would become a porter or a guide for trekkers. |

| Unforgettable expressions! Face is the index of mind as they say. One can deeply understand the challenges behind these mountain people once you look at their faces. Photographed on 28th September, 2010 |

| A porter for life. A strong Nepali man posing to my lens at his few-minute-break for rest on the mountains. They are almost comparable to the yaks in carrying the loads of the trekkers in these mountains. Photographed on 9th October, 2010 |

| Playful boy captured while returning from the base camp near the village Dingboche on 9th October, 2010. |
