Locals do not know about time or don’t care. This is Shangrilah or paradise. People here have never seen shoe laces – I made people stop and touch my shoes. They only wear felt boots, no laces there.The Himalayan Road Workers and the Changpa nomads blew my mind. I came back many times – this is my favorite place on earth.
