21 Breathtaking Photos Of Isolated Tribes From All Around The World

Dam!! They look fierce!

It's nice to see other cultures in such an epic scenery

magical and absolutely wonderful

They look like the real-live version of the blue people from avatar, in a good way!

Beautiful photo stunning capture.

It looks like scene from some kind of myth or legend. Gloomy river and its guards, peaceful but fierce - if necessary. I love these lanterns - they gives such small amount of light and still it is impressive (I love that most colours here are greyish, that is beautiful). Amazing photo.

Wow - never knew this was a thing -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cormorant_fishing

They are not "isolated" tribal people.

Not a lot fish like this anymore, they will sit on the river though and if tourists pay them they will set up a shot. sad reality

Very cool picture. Do the birds help them fish?

Looks like a Vogue picture!

Their poses are really striking.

Gorgeous.

This is my favourite one

I bet that they are fast runners...their shape says it all

Nice masks

As long as there are monks in Bhutan, mask dancers will always be there. They are not a tribe and certainly not isolated. In remote villages, if there are no monks in the monasteries, the locals/villagers carry on this task during festivals. With tourism booming, there are now many local dance troops learning the art and are performed for tourists on demand. Although I don't agree with that part as these dances are usually part of our Tshechus (religious festivals) and one must be part of the Tshechus to truly understand its significance.

Behind in the background is a monastery perched on a hill, called the Paro Taksang or Tiger's Nest - one of Buddhism's most important figures Guru Padmasambhava came from the Indian sub-continent and introduced Buddhism to Bhutan is said to have meditated at this place for 3 years, 3 weeks and 3 days. There's not a lot of historical records on his life, but Buddhism in Bhutan is said to have been transmitted from his teachings.

Thats tiger's nest behind on the mountain.. what a beautiful country Bhutan is..

They amaze me where they live so high in the mountains.

I want to know whats behind them...are they snow/ice huts? or sculptures? and what are they used for? hopefully google can help me out.

Wow! This amazing photograph, explains beautifully how you cannot put everyone in the same basket...Who would think this is India?

Those are Chorten "Small temples called chorten are found everywhere in Tibet. The design can vary, from roundish walls to squarish, four-sided walls. Some of these temples have relics of monks or other precious items. They are decorated with different depictions of the elements and nirvana symbolizing when the Buddha reached enlightenment. There are eight types of chorten, but only two-three are common in Tibet. It is considered a good deed of merit to either restore the temple or to walk around the temple in a clockwise direction." Ladakh is culturally continuous with Tibet.

Nice photo, surprised it's India !!!

Amazing how beautiful almost surreal.

All the women are going to really like this one;)

Men ! We must dress in hay, so the horses won't wonder of... :D

The scenery.....amazing ! 😳

And some people think only Vikings had muscles.

Are these the Mongolian eagle or falcon guys recently featured on Nova or Nature on PBS?

Nah, that's Bilbo and the gang when the eagles dropped them off in the middle of nowhere, instead of flying them for another 10 minutes directly to the Lonely Mountain :D

Love this one. These ponies are so strong.

The Mongolian hunters with their Eagles most of which are female. Just beautiful
