Nepali Portraits

These images were taken during several trips to Nepal. Long after the spectacular mountain views began to fade from memory, it is the people's faces that I remember most.

The photos are really great, and you deserve a huge thanks from a nepali guy like me. We leave Nepal to earn some extra bucks, and you guys go to Nepal for humanitarian purpose. You have captured Nepal as it is, and I really appreciate your work. Thanks for the great job and keep it up. I see some comments here from Nepalese, such as Prakash, who has used some filthy language. This kind of creep exist in quite a large number in Nepal. They have a certain characteristics, such as, they dont take initiative to do good things for themselves or for their country, and when somebody is doing, they try to pull the legs! I hope he must have some other better purpose to live in this world and live other people do something better for Nepal. Jai Nepal.

It's really nice pic I have seen the pic from my country, more realistic keep it up.

PADAM CHHETRI		19-Feb-2008 06:22
Hello Your work is really excellent but I couldnot see the real Nepal in the pictures. Real Nepal means the rural and remote areas of the country. Do visit to such places and take the photographs of those people and their way of life that could give the entire scenario of Nepal. I take your work as an innitial effort to recognise our country ,that is really priseworthy. I do hope that you will give continuity to your work of photography to explore Nepal. Good luck

Presented photographs are able to identiify what is the nepalese people and their cultures. I think these photographs are not amazing and wownderful because each pictures having reality and originalily. But attemption is wonderful because it is not easy to collect photographs from rural village where even monkey fall down from some places.

eila		05-Feb-2007 07:44

Seeing all these heart touching pictures is making me miss Nepal even more.

Guest		28-Jun-2006 23:13
Wonderful photos of a truly amazing place - thank you for sharing them.

liufanger		30-May-2006 08:06
really amazing pictures..actually i'd never become interested in Nepal if i haven't fell in love with a Nepalese boy...he brought me the entirely different and amazing world.maybe it's too different so that we got to break up coz it's endless love..even though i still feel thankful and i've made my mind that one day i will go to Nepal,to see the amazing things he told me by my own eyes,and the city he grew up.

chhetri_inside		09-Apr-2006 07:01
I will say you have captured the HEART of nepal ... it's truly a daily routine of nepali peoples life ... apart from the war going between maoist n king

Thanh		30-Mar-2006 07:21
Thank you for these beautiful pictures. These are very inspiring pictures. I am from U.S. and I am going to visit Nepal during my summer break from School. These pictures made me more sure that I did not made a mistake by chosing to visit Nepal. Thank You.

deborah		05-Mar-2006 19:51
namaste, ron! i read a comment that said these were not attractive faces. i strongly disagree! you have captured some of the most beautiful, natural faces i have ever seen! thank you for sharing them with the world. so many people of privilege never get to gaze into the eyes of "a spirit so close to the earth". these lovely hard-working people could teach us all about "real beauty"!!! thank you for your vision....

momo		01-Mar-2006 15:23
these pictures really warms my heart!! great to know there are so many fans of nepal, as least i wouldn't feel lonely among you guys.i'm an undergraduate of peking university studying as an exchange student in waseda univ. now.i made a short trip there in agu, 2005, and fell in love with the country...and a nepali man who is actually my first love. but he thought the only long-lasting relationship between us is brother-sister like friendship....well, need some time to adjust to my new role, but i guess i wont stop loving him and his country all my life.

Nadine		24-Jan-2006 01:36
Theses pictures are truly amazing. I am about to embark on my journey through India and Nepal. Im going to be working as a volunteer in Nepal for a while, this has truly inspired me. The people look so warm, they really are beautiful. Thank you. Just hope I can return with as many beautiful memories.

My uncle and aunt have gone to Kathmandu, Nepal as Missionaries. They have a burden for winning souls for Christ. Pray for them as they travel and do what they have been called to do.

Bu �yle bir siteki benim i�in. D�nyadaki en tatl� en �irin ve �zel insan� bu site sayesinde tan�d�m. Milyonda bir kez rastlan�labilecek bir tan��ma hikayesiydi bizimkisi...Nepal benim i�in o �zel insan sayesinde art�k hayat�m�n bir par�as� olmu�tu. Birlikte Nepal'i konu�mak, ona Nepal'i anlatmak tarif edilmez bir heyecand� benim i�in. K�sa s�rede o kadar �ok ba�land�m ki ona her ak�am eve ko�arcas�na gidiyor, msn de onunla konu�mak i�in can at�yordum. Hatta s�rf onun i�in bug�ne kadar bilmedi�im msn'i ke�fettim. Yurtd�� gezilerimde bile g�rd��m her g�zel �eyde o akl�ma geliyor, buldu�um ilk f�rsatta belki msn'dedir diye k�se bucak internete ba�lanabilece�im bir yer ar�yordum. Hayat�mda en �ok istedi�im �ey Nepal a�� bu dostumla birlikte Nepal'e gitmekti, zaman zaman bunun hayalini kurar, hatta kar��l�kl� konu�urduk...Oysa simdi o kadar �zg�n o kadar hayal k�r�kl�� i�indeyim ki. Eski heyecan�mdan eser yok. Art�k ne zaman Nepal akl�ma gelse i�imi buruk bir ac� kapl�yor, h�z�nleniyorum. Nepal durdu�u m�ddet�e onu unutmayaca��m� s�ylemi�tim. Evet unutmayaca��m her ne kadar ben unutulsamda...

Fatih		12-Dec-2005 22:09
Tekrar Namaste dostlar! A�a��da yorum yazarken yanl��l�kla siteyi haz�rlayan T�rkler dedim. Bu siteye yaz� yazan T�rkleri kastetmi�tim. Site i�in bu kadar emek veren Ron'a haks�zl�k etmek istemedim. Ger�i Ron anlamazd� ama olsun. ..

Fatih		12-Dec-2005 22:03
Hi Ron! You did a very good job. Bu siteyi haz�rlayan T�rk arkada�lara da birka� s�z�m var. Ben bu foto�raflar� sadece g�rmekle kalmad�m, kendim Nepal'e gittim ve her yerini ad�m ad�m dola�t�m. Katmandu, Pokhara, Bhaktapur ve di�er �ehirler. Bence herkesin hayatta mutlaka bir kere gitmesi gereken �ok g�zel ve �zel bir yer. Nepal ba�ka hi�bir �lkeye benzemiyor. Kesinlikle kendisine ait bir ruhu, insan� b�y�leyen bir havas� var. D�nyan�n en g�lery�zl� insanlar� belkide orada ya��yor. Fakirli�in ve yoklu�un masum ve buruk g�r�nt�s� y�zlerine yans�sada i� i�ten hep g�l�yorlar sanki. �nan�n bir kere gittiniz mi uzun s�re haf�zan�zdan ��kmayacakt�r. Ve benim i�in Nepal'in ve bu sitenin �ok ayr� bir yeri daha var. ��nk� bu site ve Nepal sevgisi sayesinde d�nya tatl�s� bir dost kazand�m. Nepal'e gitmek isteyenlere g�n�ll� olarak rehberlik yapmaya haz�r�m. Hepinize Namaste!

I have the same question as Jessica. Is it possible to purchase these photos. They are remarkable. I once visited myself and it reminds you that there is a more simple time and place, where fruit and meat taste as it should and people live as they should.

My husband and I met an exchange student from Nepal, I was looking up Nepalize receipes when I came across your site! Makes me understand his country a little more. Awesome photos. He has invited us to visit his family. I would like to after seeing the pictures. My husband will take him on an intro scuba dive, I taught him how to use a lawnmower! And we have had great times together. He will be leaving for Montana soon. I am glad we got to know him. His name is Kamal Paudel . We call him Kamal from Nepal. Very humble and sincere young man.We live in Ala. and I wanted to make him feel at home... But more like his own home. He enjoyed the food we made. We are going to make Lamb Takari for him soon.

Hmm, first of all thanks for doing such a great work, which helps others to know more about NEPAL and their lifestyles. It seems you have visited each Nepalese house and villages, i think you have enjoy a lot about our culture too,it was also your new experience too.And you helps others to see things and know things and lifestyle of Nepalese people through pictures, which are hard to find in books and read them in books.Thank you very much indeed. Thanks a lot.

Hola: Soy una universitaria de 18 a�os que est� realizando un trabajo investigativo sobre la cultura de Nepal para la clase de Ingl�s. Para dicha investigaci�n tengo que interactuar con personas que vivan en Nepal ( que hablen Ingles y Espa�ol ) para hacerle una serie de preguntas acerca de la cultura de Nepal. Por favor, si hay alguna persona que este interesada en ayudarme favor de enviarme un correo electronico a mi direccion. Le estar� muy agradecida. Tambi�n quiero comentar acerca de la galeria; considero que son excelentes fotos que capturan la esencia de las personas en Nepal.

Dear Ron Memories of my trip to Nepal in 1984 came flooding back. You have captured the essence of Nepal - its wonderful people. I am planning to return in the future. Thanks Margaret

Hey Ron Im an art student from nepal and while searching some materials for my project i came across ur site, iv made about 10 paintings from ur pictures.Probably this is the 10th time i have seen this site Dude, its really great to find someone appriciating our country . Im really happy to see these pictures Aseem

Geert		12-Aug-2004 21:40
Hi Ron, Astonishing photos! A single look at these says more than all the written books, amazing! I am a young guy who is going to Katmandu in a short while to help a Nepali NGO (related to a Dutch foundation) to develop/ design a school. The main target of the school will be education, but we will also make it a 'green' building as we call it in Belgium and Holland. This means we will develop a school with sustainable energy sources (biogas, water heating by the sun, solar cooking, water filtering systems and hopefully solar energy). During my stay in Katmandu (6 months) and my personal roundtrip afterwards (4 months) I will use an internet site to keep friends and family up to date. My question to you is whether I could use some of your pictures to start my site, so my relatives can get an idea where I'm going. As it is for a voluntary organization, I do not have the ability to pay for them. I will not use them for any commercial meaning, just for my site and if you prefer I could create a link to your site. Hopefully you don't mind and let me know whether it's ok�. Thanks very much. Greetings from Holland, Geert.

Hi Ron, Another nice gallery of portraits from a himalayan kingdom. I really enjoyed this one also. In addition to Bhutan, I also travelled in nepal and may dig out those old slides someday. Best regards

Penny Jones		24-May-2004 06:34
Hi, I am a news editor for an aid development magazine called Asian Development REview. I noticed your picture of the squater in Nepal and was wondering if we could use it for our magazine. We would give a full attribution for the image but cannot pay a monetary sum. It would appear as a full glossy pic in a nice-quality mag. If we can use it we would need a copy forwarded to us as 300dpi of a fairly large size. Please let me know if this is possible - it is for an article on foreign development aid being pulled out of Nepal because of the extortion by maoist rebels and decreasing security. Thank-you Penny Jones

Angela Gurung		05-May-2004 17:57
Hello, I found these pictures absolutely amazing I am married to someone from Nepal, we have not had the chance to get there yet. The people are beautiful and him telling me all about it is awesome and now I know what means when he says that it is so awesome. Thank you for capturing all of those things and willing to be able to share it with everyone. Angie

My teacher gave my class a research report to do on any country in the world. I chose Nepal, and wandered onto your site to get some research. I had read some books about Nepal already, and found the pictures that you have posted on your page very different than what daily life actually is in Nepal. Nepal is one of the 5 poorest countries in the world, and from what I saw in the pictures was very different. People in Nepals don't even have bathrooms, and 3 of 20 kids survive past the age of two because of the many dieses! I mean kids in Nepal die of diareah! Those pictures that I have viewed, have only been showing the good side of Nepal where people have enough money for decent items, which isn't even half of the population! I hope that you listen to my letter and show ALL of Nepal next time. Danalee, 12

Tanya		10-Jan-2004 07:45
Beautiful work, Ron. I am going to Nepal to volunteer for a few months and your pictures only motivate me more. Would you mind if I compose a portrait of one of your photo's? I would love to draw one of your pic's (with your permission and credit to your work, of course).

Paolo		05-Jan-2004 14:44
A very good work and very kind photos. This web site is a great opportunity for everyone wants to live the experience of Nepal spirit. Great job!

Ron: Your photos are great. Your perception of the images pertaining to the said time and place is amazing. However, I come from Nepal as well and we run tailor-made tours from the USA. If you are interested to put a "photographic group" together please let me know. Thanking you. Rabkab

Yuro Andropov		10-Dec-2003 19:46
I do not find these pictures very interesting. Perhaps if you used more attractive people.

subodh		30-Nov-2003 16:08
dear ron, the job you did is really tremondous. the beauty about ur photography is correctly use of direct sunlight. it is really hard to give an effective life to a photo with direct sun light but you perfectly did it.

Tom		15-Nov-2003 23:25
fantastic pictures, they really capture the essence of a wonderful country.

Nicholas		15-Nov-2003 06:21
These photos are great! They are very helpful when you are trying to learn what the life is like in Neoal! Great Job!

Danny Yanai		08-Nov-2003 18:07
Hi Ron, Exceptional quality of work - ready for an exhibition! go for it. I specially liked your technique of enhancing the figure by using a dark backround. I'll try that. What equipment are you using? Danny

Paul Keates		31-Oct-2003 11:28

hi, i have just went to Nepal earlier this year, and i have to say you have captured the real essence of Nepal. Anyways, i was quite curious about your photo about the road to school. I was wondering which part of Nepal that you took that photo from.. yup could you reply to me ? thanks..

Helen		16-Oct-2003 00:43

Matt Reichel		21-Aug-2003 00:29
Hi Ron: I had looked at these photos for hours before my trip to Nepal this past July/August, studying your technique. Even when I was in Nepal I thought about your photographs, angle, subject, lighting, etc... I really want to thank you, your photos taught me a ton. They are the best I have ever seen, and I can only dream of one day taking photos of this quality. I just got home from Nepal, after spending two months living in a rural community in the Nuwakot district with a community service group. I credit you/your photos as being my teacher. If you would like you may visit my Nepal gallery at: www.pbase.com/mreichel/nepal_2003 . I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate these incredible images and how much they have taught me. Sincerely, Matt

Karim		17-Jul-2003 22:11
Hallo, I want just to say that theses are really good photos. I knew this country just from the Geographie, what we lernt in school, but I traveled out of my country(Morocco) to continue my studies, and there I met a really beautiful girl from N�pal. She�s now my girlfriend, and I wanted to have an idea about the beauty of her country, and it�s really unbelievable!! thanks for these beautiful photos Good luck

Rahul Dutta		29-Jun-2003 03:19

Ron, your portraits of Nepalis are simply stunning. I wish I could capture so my much emotions with such grace and simplicity. Great source of inspiration for my upcoming trip to Nepal (returning after visiting last year) and to India, Ladakh. Thanks for sharing...

Anil Halwai		20-May-2003 10:01
Wow, such a wonderful photo gallaries i have ever seen. the effort of the people who had done this should be appeciated. best of luck, may in coming future you may do even more to recognize NEPAL in world wide phenomenen.

I have a love affair with Nepal, and many friends there... your pictures have fanned the flames of my love for this "abode of the gods." I am actually going back this summer and cannot express my anxiety to go. I can't wait, and loved your pics... the faces remind me of the kids I worked with.... Tseten, Yiang Zum, Shamel, Dorje, Dolma, Tsering, and so forth. Nepal is, in my heart a sacred place.

parsuram poudel		27-Feb-2003 03:09

Ted		03-Jan-2003 02:28
Nameste I have seen your gallery. The pictures are great. You covered a lot of good people shots. Do you intend to publish them? Or are these pictures for sales or licensing? The reason why I am asking is, I took some pictures in Nepal, some of which, I think, are pretty okay and I am considering to publish them. However they are people shots, I do not have model release. In that case, do you know if I am risking offending the laws by publishing the pictures which show the people (considering that the book is intended for sales)? Do you know what other photographers who take pictures of people--real people, not models, usually do? I would appreciate it if you could kindly reply. Regards and thanks Ted (from China)

I really enjoyed your pictures! I'm doing a report on Nepal for school, and I found pictures on your site that I couldn't of found anywhere else. It's also really sad that most of the people live in utter poverty.

It's wonderful and precious.I love photography but I don't know why I am doing Hotel Management, may be after this course I'd switch to that field. Thank you again.

Yadhavi Singh		07-Nov-2002 17:05
Hello, I have seen pictures of people of my country from all walks of life--but non as powerful or appealing to the eye as the one that is posted here in this gallery. Believe it or not my eyes were glued to each of these pictures for a good minute or two. I personally felt each one told a story! Thanks for all the trouble you had to go throuh to make this available for us to see. good luck to you in your future endevour. Yadhavi

Malvika		07-Nov-2002 16:24
Dear photographer, Thank you for taking the time to post these pictures for all of us to enjoy. These are beautiful and eye popping to say the least. Hope to see more of your work in the future-won't you enlighten us? Thanks again Malvika

Bishal		06-Nov-2002 11:28
Dear Friend After viewing your gallery of such a good and precious photo collection, all I can say is, you have really gone on the depth of Nepalese life. Words will never be enought to praise your work which you have done. Do please keep up with such work of collecting precious picture.

Nepali fromGerman		05-Nov-2002 13:42
Really it is Nepal and Nepali. The site is waiting for those who are unknown with Nepal and Nepali. I am proud of being Nepali because such a variation is found only in Nepal.

Ken Rimple		01-Nov-2002 07:41
Those are about the most insightful pictures of a culture I've ever seen! If you don't work for National Geographic, you should seriously consider putting a portfolio together and getting a sit-down with the folks there; you deserve a job fitting of your talent!

Anil Sindhurakar		31-Oct-2002 06:25
hey what a fantastic insight into Nepal and Nepali people. i really appreciate the effort put into it. indeed a highly commendable job. well done and keep it going.

stephanie		29-Oct-2002 04:04
Wow! How do you get such revealing portraits? I love photos like these, but rarely get them, because I'm usually too shy to say anything, and as a result, the candid shots I get are usually disappointing (which is why I mostly stick to scenery!) I found your site through the link you posted on worldisround. Thanks for the beautiful galleries! You can see my articles (which are of the novice variety!) on worldisround. Here's one of them: http://www.worldisround.com/articles/9134/index.html

Dipan Ghimire		05-Feb-2002 21:15
Hi Guys, I feel so nice to see these pictures of our nation at your site. As you also had been to the spot, I assume you could feel the warmth of Nepali greetings and love for others. Actullay I am also from Nepal, and now studying here the undergraduate level in West Virginia, USA. I was missing the memories of home, so searched if I could find some thing on the search engines. So nice that your page was also reported. As I went through all the site, all the scence were appeared as real. Thanks for this job. I wonder if you had been to the central part of Nepal. I am from Chitwan, a plane Terain region in Nepal. Chitwan is mostly famous for it's national parks, and for being in the centre of the nation. Hey I would like to hear from you guys about some stuffs from there. Thanks agian, and not to mention you all look great in all those picts. Looking forward to hearing soon from you. Dipan Ghimire

Chris Hoffmann		01-Feb-2002 09:29
It's me again "Ron"! Have just been looking at your photos again, and can't help thinking they are a bit out of place, considering most other galleries... Anyhow, I would like to know what sort of camera(s) you used. Was it digital material? I am still in traditional stuff myself, not even auto-focus, as I am so pleased with my Canon T90... But I am wavering about going digital... All the best from Chris
