‘Slow Road To China,’ is a photographic study of a remote part of northwestern Nepal called Humla and the remarkable people who live there. For centuries, the Himalayas have walled them in, shaping and preserving their way of life. Humla residents consider themselves the last remaining guardians of pure Tibetan culture. As modernity beckons, however, more of the region’s youth are leaving home. One thing in abundance there is a firm sense of identity. However, looming in the background of these photos, is the very real possibility that future generations might forfeit the rich, unique traditions cherished by their elders.
