The People Of Darjeeling

You've seen the place, now meet the people. While Darjeeling is in India, it's heavily populated by Nepalis. Which makes sense, being so close to Nepal. Factor in political unrest and the nearby Himalayas and you get a large immigrant population.

Beautiful construction worker. Yes, construction worker. Mother and child.

Manly Friends. They aggressively lobbied to have their picture taken. Who knew, so vain?
