HIMALAYA DREAMS photographs focus on the diversity of the Nepal Himalaya ethnic groups as encountered by the author on his journey; not on himself. Walking up and down the Nepal Himalaya Midlands en route to the “rain shadow” regions behind the principal chain of the High Himalayas along the Tibetan border, the author traveled through the areas of the Ancient Nepalese, the original people of the Greater Nepal Himalaya - Limbu, Rai, Gurung, Magar, Thamang, and Newar. In quest of the high mountain people of Tibetan origin, he visited the northern-most homelands of the Lhomi Bhote of the upper Arun River, the Sherpas of Solu-Khumbu and Helambu, the Thamang of Ganesh Himal, the Larke Tibetans of Himalchuli-Manaslu, the Thakali of the high altitude transverse valleys in the Kali Gandaki region, and the Baragaun Bhote of the inner valleys behind the Annapurna-Dhaulagiri massif. While navigating across the Nepal Midlands, populated not only by the Ancient Nepalese but also by the immigrants from the plains of India, the Indo-Nepalese - the Chetri, the Brahman, and the occupational casts, author’s emphasis on the High Himalaya mountain people reflects his apparent affinity with the culture and lifestyle of the Tibeto-Nepalese ethnic groups.
