Our arrival in the remote village of Ranwas was as much an experience for us as for the local children. Never having seen a European before the young boy in the picture (he was too shy to tell us his name) promptly ran to find his younger cousin and carry him back to meet us. This sharing of experiences a is the life blood of travel, making each new encounter special.
