A wonderful trip and some incredible photos, I would love to be able to go, photographing this type of culture is something that has always kept me looking forward to it, so many workshops and so many books that I have read on photography of this type and I have never been able to, it looks fascinating discover new cultures, and photograph magical places. congratulations!!
Hopefully you are able to go and experience this and get some photos of your own. Just keep practicing your skills so you can get the shots you want when you do go.
