An Evening with a Gypsy Family in the Himalayas

We heard some rustling a few meters away. It was a couple of the gypsy kids who had ventured over, barefoot, to collect us.

Earlier that day, the gypsy family living close-by invited us to come over in the evening. With our expert guides and small flashlights, we made our way across in the dark.

It was a basic dwelling yet warm and inviting. Despite not sharing a language, we enjoyed each others’ company through the international language: music. They sang for us and we clapped and danced along to the beat of the drum (or at least the plastic container they were using as one).

The poor kid in the background had a broken leg so no moving around for him…

That little guy with Hai's hat is so adorable. Of course, the oversized hat emphasizes the cuteness.
