Nepal: Porters

2007.11.10






Our trekking group's porters.

Just after I took this photo, two rats ran across this farmyard, but I didn't get a picture.

One of our porters made an unscheduled and unplanned trip to the top of Thorung La pass, we outfitted him with our collective unused winter gear. Those are my shoes on the floor.

My day hikers after their trip to the top of the pass. Chawla (the porter) had no problem with the altitude... unlike me, I barely made it to the top (almost 18K ft).



Porters in Nepal, they hike long distances with heavy loads with very minimal gear.
