Glad you remember them!
Im impressed with your heart to remember them - Porter who is the root of any trekking trip, without them you will never be able to trek so comofrtable. Do think of publishing a book for them and help them to raise some fund.

This is wonderful, that you have posted these excellent, very sharp photos, and terrific, that you gave a tribute to these hard-working guys! Americans don't realize, how other people work so hard, usually. Thanks again!

Amazing porters...
Great shots of porters! Thanks for paying tributes to the porters n sherpas... They are the people whom make our trek possible... Despite their heavy load, they still have to look after us, help us and ensure our safety, well being and look after our belongings... They will cheer us up,joke and talk to us during trek... Yup! They carry anything that could be caried! We witnessed a porter carried two wooden beds on our Jomsom trek... Nepalese are really 'hardy' group of people, aren't they?
