Tulsipur Airport, 1967. Dwarika Nath Dhungel (third from left) and a classmate have found willing partners for a photograph in two young Tharu women. The women had no qualms about complete strangers putting their arms around their shoulders. Perhaps they were too excited at the prospect of getting photographed to mind that. Dhungel believes it was down to their innocence.

To get to Tulsipur from Nepalgunj the students traveled by jeep on a rough road that skirted the Rapti River. Here, they are beside the Rapti.
