Landscape Photography – Valley below McLeod Ganj, Indian Himalayas (... and a mini CONTEST for all readers)

This is my entry into the LandscapePhotography contest by @juliank

[Click Here to Enlarge Photo]

Walking to the outer limits of the Himalayan city of McLeod Ganj, we came to a cliff. Gazing down into the distant valley and the stream running through it, we noticed many dots of colour. 

Taking a closer look, we realized that there were people down there. Many of the people were washing their brightly coloured blankets in the stream, then laying them on the rocks to dry. 

Contest – How many people? (Prize = 100% upvote)

How many people can you see in the valley? That means actual "PEOPLE," not blankets or empty items of clothing lying on the rocks.

The first 5 Steemians who answer, with the correct number of people, will get a 100% upvote (currently about $5). 

(Consolation Prize)  

If nobody counts the people correctly, I'll upvote those who answer within 2 people, either above or below the correct answer. For the consolation prize, my upvote may be less than 100%.

(I've counted the people closely, on a blow-up of the photo. A friend confirmed my count, which will be final. The contest will close on Sunday, 28 January.)

Note – McLead Ganj is the home of the Dalai Lama. (Sometimes, it is said that he lives in nearby Dharamshala, but actually, his temple is on the border between the two towns, closer to McLeod Ganj.)
