Framed and Shot

We met this Nepali boy in Sauraha, Nepal.  Sauraha is a small charming village at the foot of the Himalayas on the northern bank of the Rapti River . It is a village which is inseparable from the Chitwan National Park . The Park is one of Nepal ’s treasures of natural wonders and first national park, listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site. In the park we could admire one of the last populations of single-horned Asiatic rhinoceros but did not get a glimpse of the last refuges of the Bengal tiger, which also lives here. But we did get a beautiful memory of this little boy, he was out in the field playing and stopped and looked at us – a bit shy, a bit curious.

Vi traff denne lille gutten fra Nepal i landsbyen Sauraha. En liten by som grenser til Chitwan National Park, en av Nepals flotte nasjonalparker, også på Unescos liste over verdens arven.  I parken kunne vi beundre en av verdens siste grupper av en-hornet-asiatisk nesehorn, vi speidet etter men så ikke Bengal tiger, også verdens siste eksemplarer som bor her – men vi fikk et vakkert minne fra denne lille gutten; han var ute og lekte og stoppet og så på oss – litt sky og litt nyskjerrig.
