[NEPAL | UK] Nestled between a beautiful lake and the Himalayas,
Ashmina, 13, lives with her family at the outskirts of
Pokhara Nepal, paragliding capital of the world.
The remote and traditional town is also a busy tourist
destination where the locals are profoundly affected by
the swarms of tourists who visit it daily. Forced to skip
school, Ashmina helps her family make ends meet by
working at the landing field, packing the parachutes of
foreign pilots in return of small change.
