The right hand side of the frame is dominated by hillside covered with agricultural terraces. A few young trees with dark green leaves are scattered throughout. To the lower left is a deep valley and in the distance are a series of successively taller mountains. The effects of distance make the peaks appear light blue and grey. Above, the mostly cloudy sky filters the sunlight.
Our third 2024 #ANHS Fellow is PhD student Amrit Tamang, whose project "Re-centering Indigenous Tamang Labor in Nepal's Mountaineering/Trekking Industry" studies the relationship of the #Tamang community with global #tourism and infrastructure in #Nepal.
Mountains, the jagged, rocky tops of which are free of foliage, are instead covered with thousands of strings of multicolored Buddhist prayer flags. Patchy sunlight shines from the side, showing a sharp mid morning angle, while the strip of baby blue sky above is occupied by a single cloud at the far right.
Now that we’re here, we’re eager to connect with academics (all disciplines), students, and aficionados of high Himalayan peaks and the vibrant communities and cultures who call them home.
