Location: Beni, Myagdi
Description: Curious youngsters waiting at a chautara. High piles of straw in the background and a pipal tree. All but one of the children are wearing "topis" (traditional Nepali hat) except one who is probably a girl. Kids are standing on a shelf designed to be just the right height for porters to ease their loads onto for a rest stop.
