Powerful landscapes of South Himalaya

Herding yax

05 Aug 2017 1 435
These are the landscapes if we think of yaks. The clang of their bells along the steep trails is an age-old sound, a tone unique to the Himalaya. Yak herding has been part of the tradition of the original people when they came here from Tibet, and so it is probably the oldest occupation. The yaks in their herds have been domesticated from wild herds, and some wild yaks still occur in the far-flung parts of Himalaya. The yak is a an essential animal to the local people that live here. They supply transport, milk, protein, fur, hoof, dung, bone, skin, and tail. Tea is made with yak milk and is a staple part of the diet of yak herders. They convert the sparse grass of this highland into clothing, butter for tea, fuel for the stove, and meat on the fire. according... moonlightinthehimalayas.wordpress.com
