Faces of Tamang

The people of the Tamang heritage trek where amazing. They were all so nice and always trying to be helpful. Our family wanted to redo the trek because of the people. The Tamang's are descendant's of ancient Tibetan horse trader's. We did the trek mainly for a cultural experience but there were more trekker lodges than we hoped and there was only one homestay. That was our favorite part of the trek because we got to stay with the people.

This was a woman at the spot we had lunch on the first day. She spoke no English and they only had potatoes so we ate potatoes for lunch. We sat around the fire on the floor in the smokey kitchen.  From then on we called it the potato palace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is our friend's porter and a cute little girl we met on the trek. Her name was Tenzing Lamu.

This is the man from the home stay we stayed at. They took out all there Tibetan handicrafts to show us and try to sell us some things and the man put on the hat and the big necklace to show us.

This picture was taken inside a Buddhist temple and there was a high monk who was giving blessing's. We went to get blessing's and this man liked my hat so we took a picture with him.
