Умные люди посоветовали убрать цвет на этом снимке...

Сделал и самому так больше понравилось. А Вам?

а там было ощущение, что век XII-XIII...

придётся возглавить экспедицию ;-)

Хотя, как рассказывали местные приезжали тетки немки (типа на фотосессию), но на "праздник" их не пустили...

У них, правда, интерес был другого свойства: арийской крови захотелось. Племена, живущие в этом регионе считаются арийскими, а по другой версии остатками войск Александра Македонского...
Но, как и положено истинным арийцам, блюдут чистоту крови и все браки только в рамках своей группы. Живут они в тесном тибетском окружении детишек с монголоидными чертами у них в селениях Вы не увидите...

это племена Drokpa ...
Down the Indus, between Khalatse and the Shayok-Indus confluence, live a people, known as Drok-pa, Buddhists in name, but racially anc culturally distinct from the rest of the Ladakhis. Two of the five villages inhabited by them may now be visited, Dah and Biama. The route follows the Indus down from Khalatse, past the villages of Domkhar, Skurbuchan and Achinathang, along a fairly good road. In the gorge of the Indus the sun’s heat, reflected off bare rocks and cliffs, is frequently intense. The same heat makes it possible to take two crops every year from the fields. Fruit is also grown – apricots, apples, walnuts and even grapes. Skurbuchan, Domkhar and Achinathang are attractive villages, with an air of modest prosperity about them.
But the special interest of this region is less the landscape than its Drok-pa inhabitants. A minuscule community of perhaps no more than a couple of thousand, their features are pure Indo-Aryan, and they appear to have preserved their racial purity down the centuries. Their culture and religious practices are more akin to the ancient pre-Buddhist animist religion known as Bon-chos than to Buddhism as practiced in the rest of Ladakh. One curious feature is their abhorrence of the cow, or any of its products. They have preserved their ancient traditions and way of life partly thorough the celebration of the triennial Bono-na festival, a celebration of the harvest, and party through their songs and hymns. One of these is a description of an ibex-hunt for the ibex is specially sacred to them. Another recalls their migration from Gilgit an event which must have occurred well before Gilgit came under the influence of Islam. Their language is said to be akin to that spoken in Gilgit, and a by immigrants from Gilgit settled in Dras. Such a small and racially and culturally homogeneous community is bound to have much to offer scholars in the fields of ethnology and social anthropology.
