This Tibetan woman from Letdar was incredibly shy when we first entered the village. She became embarrassed when we admired her amulets; she tucked them into her clothes for safe-keeping. Eventually, she warmed up to us and gave us a smile and hearty wave as we left for Thorung Phedi base camp. Taken on the ninth day of the trek around the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal.

We met this adorable girl and her mother waiting at the train station in Toungoo, Myanmar. The yellow powder on the faces is thanaka, known locally as "Myanmar make-up" and comes from a type of wood (mixed with water). Read more about our visit to Myanmar.
