North India Trekking Trip 北印度行山之旅 (23 Aug - 11 Sep 2002)

One of the shepherds from the first herd we saw. He stopped a minute chatting with Acharya.
We later found out that Acharya not only chat with shepherds about the treks ahead, he sometimes distribute medicine to them if they are not well.
Shepherding is a hard life, and it shows on the face.

After chatting to our guide, shepherd catching up with his herd.
Some shepherds would have a pack horse to bring tent, blankets, etc. Some would just haul everything on back.

We brought live chickens to the trek. We had three chickens every dinner except the two days when we had goat for dinner.
After arrived at the camp site, the chickens would be let loose. In the morning, some of us, like Karl here, would help to catch the chickens.

This young girl was already given the responsibility to take care of another child.
Spencer, our group leader from Hong Kong, brought lots of pencils, rulers, and other school supplies as give-away to children we met on the trek.
This girl would took the gifts, passed on to younger children, and ask us for more.
We later found out that the pencils might be useless to them, as they practice writing on tablets, instead of on paper. Perhaps even paper is hard to come by and too expensive.

As we distribute school supplies, these nomad children gathers.
We were told that these children are direct descendants of Alexander the Greats army, and many of them don't go to school.
Without education, is their future limited to shepherding and such?
