Hidden between snow mountains, there is a tent house of a nomadic family in the valley.

It was a day that I spent with the family, showing you how Tibetan nomads keep their traditional life when the world is modernizing all around them. https://www.tibettravel.org/


The day started with a simple breakfast. The handmade yak butter tea provides them with their daily energy needs.

After breakfast, the male nomad went out to graze yaks. The job seemed easy, but it was a long and boring time in the empty valley.

How did the man kill time during the long hours of grazing?

He carried snuff with him so he could relax during breaks. Sometimes, he played a solo game, such as throwing a stone. Just like a kid in the valley, he amused himself by finding natural toys from nature.

On the other side, the yaks were leisurely enjoying a fresh grass banquet.

The yak is very important to Tibetan nomads, not only does it provide them with milk to make their daily butter tea and yak cheese, but it is also the source of income. The yak’s fur is also the raw material for their tent house.

While the male nomad and yaks were away from home, the female nomad worked hard at home as well, like collecting yak dung for fuel, drying nettles as winter food for yaks and horses, looking after the elder and kids at home, and making lunches and dinners for the family.

This is a chance to see how the different roles that the male and the female nomads play in their family life, and see how modern Tibetan nomads still maintain the lifestyle of their ancestors after hundreds of years, living in harmony with nature in the land.
