Sailung Sojourn: Yaks On The Hill Tops
Yaks and Naks graze on the hilltops of ''Sailung,'' translated as 100 hills, situated at an altitude of about 3100 meters above sea level in Dolakha District, Nepal, on May 22, 2025. Yaks play a vital role in Nepalese culture and the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas. They are a crucial part of mountain agro-pastoralism, providing food, transportation, and materials for clothing and fuel. Some communities also see yaks as sacred animals.
