A Gujjar home in Kashmir, India
Gujjars are a nomadic tribe of shepherds who move up to the greener pastures in the hills in the summer. Come winter, they move down to the plains with their entire households and flocks. This was one such Gujjar family, happy to have us in their home.

Chatpal, Kashmir, India
A fairy tale – was our first impression of Chatpal. A wooden cottage. A gushing stream next to it. Air so clean and fresh, it felt almost – unnatural! There are no “tourist points” to sit on a horse and see, in Chatpal. Getting lost in nature, or within oneself is the star attraction of Chatpal.

Mother and daughters, Thimran, India
Ravijaan, Gausijan and their mother Mahajibin from the village of Thimran in Shangus district of Kashmir, India. Never having seen people with a camera pass through their village, they got curious and were bold enough to initiate a conversation. There was a wedding in the village the previous day, so the lady had put mehendi (henna) on her hands. She was delighted to have a picture taken of her hennaed hands.
