As the main square gets packed with people, and before finding out who has the best mask, one young man and one young girl will go climb onto a stage and share a long list of “facts” regarding other villagers.

At Kinnaur the closer you get from Spiti valley the more present Buddhism becomes. The flags in the wind, the prayer wheels, slowly and without really noticing it become larger and more frequent. In this small temple in Kalpa this was the first really big prayer wheel, that would be very common in Spiti and Ladakh.Himachal Pradesh, India, 2017.#kalpa #kinnaur #himachalpradesh #india #t3mujinpack #jalmeidaportfoliohttps://photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/index/G0000QjsavBbzXPM/I0000JcFW_yOHw7Y
Kalpa sits in the middle of a slope of Kinnaur, as if it’s hanging in the air, facing the massive walls of the Kinnaur Kailash mountain range that overwhelm the small village with its height, despite that the main square is almost at 3000m.Himachal Pradesh, India, 2017. #kalpa #kinnaur #himachalpradesh #india #t3mujinpack #jalmeidaportfolio photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/index/G00…
The same temple from previous photo, minus the elderly lady. The same beautiful wooden gate, framing the mountains on the back.Himachal Pradesh, India, 2017.#kalpa #kinnaur #himachalpradesh #indiahttps://photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/index/G0000QjsavBbzXPM/I0000jOVzqBLsPRY
A lady wearing the traditional Kinnaur green felt cap on her head (both men and women wear these very often) passing by the so beautiful wooden gate of an Hindu temple.

One of the subtle things I love in India, and that might go unnoticed for some, it’s the tiny shops. In Kinnaur the streets aren’t as crowded as in places like Varanasi, where someone can prepare masala chai in a tight space on a wall, but spots like this one still appear in your way.Himachal Pradesh, India, 2017.#kalpa #kinnaur #himachalpradesh #india photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/index/G00…
A small village’s square can be used for everything, from picking the bad grains to playing volleyball. Himachal Pradesh, India, 2017.#kalpa #kinnaur #himachalpradesh #india
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. Himachal Pradesh, India, 2017. #kalpa #kinnaur #himachalpradesh joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I00…
It was wheat harvest season in the mountains, and an Hindu temple with a privileged view to the Kinnaur Kailash mountain range is a place as good as any other to let the crops dry.Himachal Pradesh, India, 2017.#kalpa #kinnaur #himachalpradesh #indiahttps://joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I0000LDif5v2hPDE
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 crossing…Himachal Pradesh, India, 2017. #kinnaur #himachalpradesh #india joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I00…
