These two brothers were lingering at the Buddhist temple me and Fernando were while exploring the little and cozy Kalpa. Like always, kids tend go a bit over the top in front of cameras, and a bit of time are needed so that their excitement goes away.

Just another end of day, and end of week, like any other place in the world, where you go to the grocery store with your sheep on the way back home. Ā Himachal Pradesh, India, 2017. #kalpa #kinnaur #himachalpradesh joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I00…
The often narrow Hindustan-Tibet road along the green and steep slopes of Kinnaur valley, with the so colorful Indian trucks always passing by in both directions, and so many times it was a tight fit when crossingā¦Himachal Pradesh, India, 2017.Ā #kinnaur #himachalpradesh #indiaĀ joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I00…
Time to send this timeline back to India. Shimla was the first stop in the mountains, after the slow train climb from the plains of Punjab, but was mostly a gateway to one of the tripās main goals: the Spiti valley. In order to reach its Buddhist monasteries we had to first go all the way through Kinnaur valley, being driven through the old and narrow Hindustan-Tibet Road that goes all the way through its steep slopes.https://joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I0000tOUVzb1iUcMHimachal Pradesh, India, 2017.Ā #landscape #kinnaur #himachalpradeshĀ #indiaĀ
I have fond memories of Shimla, the mountain station created so that the British could escape the heatwaves of Delhi. Itās another unusual city that doesnāt fit in India, a bit like Chandigarh, a city literally in the clouds. And if that one was planned by a French architect, Shimla was created by a Scottish man who felt like at home, and I guess that says it all. I have fond memories of Shimla, but few photos, probably and also because it was a place to cool down after the heat of Punjab, and just before of what was coming: the madness of Kinnaur and Spiti valleys!

Slow day at Shimla also meant a haircut, or in my case a head shave. While I was waiting the close shave of @fernandocarvalhodasilva to end, sĆ³ I could get my turn, this boy was bored to death while his mother had her eyebrows done by the barberās wife. A true family business. India, 2017. #portrait #shimla #himachalpradesh #indiahttps://joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I00006HZYOD9Zclg
