Karakoram Himalayas

The images are from my trip to the Himalayas in 1994. These are either scanned from slide or print. The slide show is 2hrs long! The mountains include K2 (the pointy one) second highest below Everest, but much more difficult to climb. The kids were fun and great to photograph, unfortunately their future in life is either that of expedition porter or farmer, most opting for porter as it pays well compared to farming, but is obviously much more dangerous. They live in a village called Hushe at approx 3000m (10,000ft).
