Gajar children (except one), a photo from Jammu and Kashmir, North

Photographer's Note

Guess which one!

This is our first camp site on our trek in Kashmir, a beautiful spot in a valley above Sonamarg. The children were extremely well behaved and very polite, they always smiled and it was a delight to get to know them and their families.
I really must go back one day as of all the places I have been, the mountains, lush greenery and these people, this was the best place. It has be the best place if you really had to push me for an answer (but only just)

Hi Simon!
Good shot in the sense of TE.
It must have been a great day to meet these nice looking children at such a peaceful place.Good composition with the row of these five .
Maybe with some more contrast it will look more nice.I tried a workshop.

The word Gajar seems to be wrong. The tribes are called Gujjar. From Afgan area to Uppar Uttar Pradesh in India this tribe groups are found. Basically Nomadic type but present situation helped and forced them to anchor and adopt farmimg.

Hi Simon,
I love those bare feet!! Surely she wasn't travelling without shoes!!
Was the missing one the one you sent down to a lower altitude? How did you communicate?
