Woman milking a Dri (female Yak) somewhere between Shigatse and Lhasa, Tibet
In Tibet life without Yakmilk is unthinkable. The Tibetans drink Yakbuttertea all day long. It is an important part of their nutrition. Liquid, fat and salt is needed on 45oo meters and higher above sealevel. I drank about 5 litres of water every day whilw hiking the country.
Nomads like this woman are soldom seen. They live in very remaote areas with their flock. Areas wher you even cannot come with a fourwheeldrive.
Riding a Yak on a narrow mountainpath is an unforgettable experience. The feet of the yak are quite certain. They never slide or stumble. If they would have, I would not have been able to write this blog! If you ever come to Tibet, try riding a Yak on a narrow mountaintrail. It's cool they say in these days!
Have a nice day!
