A Himalayan Woman by Ryszard Wierzbicki
This Himalayan Woman I met during my Trekking around Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. Villagers who I met on my way were always smiling and friendly to every tourist they met. It is always important to remember that buying something from local People helps them to survive in this rough climate at the high altitude of Himalaya Mountains.
