Slide Show of Darjeeling in Northern India. The photographs were taken in 1982. I was traveling to Darjeeling from Kathmandu by bus, jeep. Not really funny.

This page shows a color slide show of photographs from the Himalaya region, mostly from Nepal. Most of the pictures were taken in the 1970s and early 1980s. They date back to a time when Nepal had no TV, practically no cars except for a few Japanese taxis, and when Nepal was the shangri-la paradise for European hippies - and a few Americans too.
