“The main idea is to capture the tribes and ethnic groups living in Nepal in a small area,” says Ivan Dementievsky. “The expedition will last about three months and will be divided into several stages.”

Among the places visited by the participants of the trip are the valley of Budhi Gandaki, the village of Kagbeni, the cave of Pyrene Fu, where the teacher of Tibetan Buddhism Milarepa, the convent of Rachen Gompa, and also Island Peak, a mountain peak 6165 meters high, meditated.
For photo processing, online publication of reports on the Web, and also for solving many other problems, Dell provided Ivan with two computers on the Windows 8 operating system.
The first is the Dell XPS 12 Ultrabook, a flexible tablet and a powerful laptop at the same time.

The second is the high-impact Dell Latitude E6420 ATG, a robust laptop that is ready to work in the toughest conditions thanks to a powder-coated magnesium alloy Tri-Metal case, moisture-proof keyboard and dust-proof port covers.
