Beautiful young Uygar (Uigar) woman in traditional head scarf that I saw at the "Long Distance Bus Station" in Kashgar, Xinjiang (New Territories), China, August 2007. I was taking the bus to from Kashgar in China to Sost, Pakistan from here but also there are buses to Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan so I'm not sure where she was going.
A Gypsy mother and her young daughter in the Naran Nag valley of Kashmir, October 2007. I camped in their home valley about 3 hour's drive north of Srinagar to go hiking in the mountains. These people are extremely poor and live in portable tents that they relocate depending on the season. They have just enough food to survive and no medicines. I was with them in the late autumn when it was extremely cold outside at night and they were packing up to move further down the valley in advance of the oncoming winter. The Gypsy people are traditionally wanderers and exist from India to Europe.
