Pictures From Kuber's House

Pictures from that 3 hour trek into the hills to Kuber's house. A trek full of leeches, mud rivers, prickle bushes, and alot of falls. But, it was all worth it in the end!
A few of Kuber's family members. This is inside Kuber's house. About 8 people live in this mud hut. Notice the masses of potatoes in the background. The entire house was literally filled with potatoes. This was only about one fifth of the potatoes that were in the house.
Kuber's mother cooking us a much needed feast after our trek. I have to say that she cooks the best roti in Nepal, as far as I have found. In the plate on the right is potatoe curry, in the pot is dal, and she is cooking roti over the fire. You can see that the "stove" is simply a pit to put logs in.
Kuber's whole family, and a few of the people from his village who came to have a look at us. Kuber is on the right in the white shirt. His father is the one wearing the brown shirt in the middle, crouching. His mother is the one standing wearing the bright red sari. The others include brothers, sisters, cousins, and village people.
