Book Description
Two young Americans take us to Humla, an ancient territory - beautiful, bitter, joyous, and holy - at the edge of Nepal, bordering Tibet, hidden in the Himalayas, where no Westerner has ever lived before. In breathtaking photographs and evocative prose, photographer Thomas L. Kelly and writer anthropologist V.Carroll Dunham reveal in this handsome volume, Humla's limitless vistas and disclose intimate details of the lives of its extraordinary people: yak herders, caravan drivers, shamans, and brides who are shared among brothers.
Here is a land of eternally snow-capped mountains and sweeping valleys, a land as eerie and forbidding as the landscape of some distant moon, with its people all but forgotten by the rest of the world. Their lives are a struggle - the alpine soil metes out sustenance grudgingly, trade with distant neighbor means days of driving stubborn yaks over perilous mountain trails, disease is a constant companion, and long winters threaten to banish the warmth of life forever.
Yet these lives yield untold riches: As if the splendid isolation and sheer altitude of the hidden Himalayas bring them closer to the gods, the Chhetri, Thakuri, and Buddhist Bhotia people of this land.
