Meet our City Buddies

Not script readers, but friends who live here. They open doors to markets and courtyards, curate one-of-a-kind moments where feasible, and tune routes to the day—light, crowds, and how everyone’s feeling—so the pace can breathe: fast when it’s right, slow when it matters.
Spin a prayer wheel, sip butter tea—the sky feels a little closer.
Slender bottle-like towers and undulating domes—sunlight turns brick into a breathing score. 
Follow the trail into the village—the peaks open up.
Soft wind, softer light—shoot a few frames or just be.
