Namaste!
I'm not usually a street photographer, but on my recent trek to Nepal and the Himalaya, I thought that I would try my hand at a bit of street portraiture. All of these photos were taken with the Canon 60D and the Canon 24-105L lens (which unfortunately broke just 2 days before the end of my trip so needs a $200 repair - a known fault with this lens that Canon refuse to acknowledge).
The Nepalese people are some of the friendliest and happiest in the world which is amazing considering what they have recently been through in their country with the 2015 earthquake. The damage is still evident everywhere and they are still painstakingly rebuilding their lives and communities.
I hope you like these photos :)

These are so beautiful, Mark. Sorry about your lens. At least you have great photos and memories to show for it though. All the best.
Thanks for the comment. Not too worried about the lens. Did miss a few great shots as I had to use the 10-22 in it's place which is far too wide for this kind of photo. It's just one of the things you have to suck up with technology - it all breaks eventually :D
Brilliant work there sir.
this place is certainly on my list
good post
Nice photos and great place, been there long time ago and liked it a lot.
Will be great if you can follow me as well, as I'm planning to start writing about my travels soon.
Thanks
