Black Yak Tents

Today the last nomads of Tibet are widespread in various Himalayan areas, in a vast territory that embraces the Tibet, some Chinese regions, Nepal, Bhutan and northern India. In the Tibetan language they are known by the name of ' Drokpa ', which can be translated as 'people of the high pastures'. It is estimated that there are about two million. In 2003 the Chinese government began a plan to expropriation of the land a free time for pastoralism and the construction of new villages to convince the nomads to leave their activity as breeders. The causes are unclear, certainly those areas have great natural resources. Only a few daredevils resist, but the current situation is greatly changing their lifestyle by making them increasingly sedentary. Photos from 2017
