A Little Lift

A Bhutanese father carries his young son on his back as they make their way up the steep path toward the Tiger's Nest Monastery. The father’s face glows with pure joy and a deep sense of connection as he hikes the rugged trail to the revered site. His stride is strong yet gentle, every step a careful balance between endurance and the love he feels for his child. This portrait captures a timeless moment — the father's laborious yet joyful climb, carrying his son not just physically, but symbolically, toward a place of deep significance. The path up to the Tiger’s Nest is not only a hike up a mountain but a journey through life, a reflection of the way the father is guiding his son not only through the physical path but also through the values of resilience, love, and the beauty of Bhutanese tradition.
