During my travels to Nepal and Tibet, it was such a delight to photograph kids; even when they were simply waving at our passing bus. This is on my return trip through the border town of Kodari, Nepal. Eleven cute kids in these two households!
… feel free to wave back at them!
Before that, we were waiting on a bridge for 15 minutes. Young mothers returning from buying groceries.
A mother with a regal stride follows her jubilant son.
This kids seems to be wondering about the folks in the bus.

Hi ND:
Great to hear that you too completed the yatra!
On Namah Shivay!
Please do share your experiences; have you posted them somewhere?
Santosha astu!
Arun
Hello !!
As a part of fact-finding mission and research before undertaking the yatra myself in 2007, I came across your travel pages. I must confess that your pages were full of insigts that were extremely useful during the journey. Sad I am so late in thanking you for your wonderful travelogue.
The yatra brought in a new perspective and my outlook towards life is all the more positive.
Thank you again for your tremendous effort.
~be in bliss

Seema!
Fabulous to hear from you! And how could I forget one of our team-mates. That was a trip we will remember for ever. Nothing else will come close.
Thanks for posting this comment and your kinds words about the post!
Keep in touch.

Seema here. Remember? I guess, big NO. A member of Shanbhag group from Kailash Manas yatra, Sheela’s friend. I am reading your pages repeatedly and experiencing the whole yatra again. It gives me immense pleasure to see the photos which I could not manage to get at that time.
I am very greatful to you for giving us the treasure to preserve for lifetime.
Recently I had been to Dr. Shanbhag’s house with Sheela and I came to know that you were there the previous day.
Seema
Hi Raj
We went with Kesari Tours in Mumbai. Their organization was outstanding – though we had some issues with their immature leadership during contentious issues with their customers.
BTW, they actually subcontract it to a group in Nepal call Richa Travels and Tours. You may be better off contacting them directly.
Good Luck
Arun
Hi Arun
