At the spring, when we carried our exhibition to Manang, our friend and film director Miloš Zábranský gave us company. He was recording video during all days of our travel. From the short film, he just presented, you can get a notion of today's Manang and about the our one week long stay in this exceptional village.

Beautiful venue of the medieval house in the center of Prague is like created for our exhibition!

Although the village 6 days walk away from nearest road and 3500 meters high is not really attractive place for TV staffs and reporters' crowds, we got very satisfactory coverage by various media.

Whole two pages of English language weekly Nepali Times was dedicated to the project. Feature by noted Nepali journalist Kunda Dixit bears the title "Not just taking pictures, but giving them back".

Exhibition in Manang was successfully launched according to plan! After six days ascend to the mountains we reached Manang and after another two days of hard work, the photographs were hanging in the courtyard od Manang Culture Museum. Even the unexpected snowfall didn't disturb opening at 4th April afternoon.

All expedtiont members met in Kathmandu in  24th March. President of Manang Youth Society Tripple Gurung held very jolly party in his house for the occasion. In care of Tripple's wife Ramyata, who is managing director of KIMFF, we finished details of the tour.
