“Dolpo Yak Caravan Trek travels with the traders of Dolpo and big herds of yaks to the elevated Nepal-Tibet border catering a perfect opportunity to sight authentic trading culture of Dolpo, its landscapes, amazing yak caravans and every other highlight remote Dolpo has.”
Since the yak is one of the most popular domestic animals in Upper Dolpo, it has many essential roles in the daily life of the natives. Yaks are used for different purposes like transportation, ploughing fields, riding, and sometimes they are used to open the trail when it is covered with snow. It is also a good source of nutrients in the highlands. Its milk and meat are a lifesaving diet. In the Himalayas, a life without yaks is close to impossible.
