Photo by @tylermetcalfe // I met Tarchen while navigating the maze of streets in Lo Manthang (all of these villages feel likes mazes). @shikharbhattarai and I were looking for the city's annual Yartung horse racing festival (images to come) when Tarchen offered to lead us there. He also offered to tell us his life story. In his youth, Tarchen spent his days trekking between his home village Lo Manthang and Pokhara--a distance that for us required one plane ride and two full days of steep jeep driving to cover. He carried heavy baskets of rocks (which contained salts and minerals) from Lo Manthang and sold them in Pokhara. This journey would often take him up to ten days to complete. He would purchase rice from local merchants in Pokhara, turn around, and walk back up through the mountain passes for ten more days until he arrived in Lo Manthang. Now 75 years old, Tarchen is still fit and led us through the city so quickly it was difficult to match his pace. Tarchen now owns a shop where he sells dhoop (incense) and other wares, and here, he shows me how incense is burned and smoke rises through the hole in the roof. All stories are told with a big smile on his face. Shot #onassignment for @National Geographic Travel in partnership with @greathimalayatrails #MyGHT
