    Splendid. No words can define how I enjoyed the video. Respect the Drokpa. Their life are full of hardships, but despite that they laugh more than we do, because they are closer to nature, and hence closer to God. Thank you for this enlightening video.

    wow ! thank you so much. when I saw that guy i feel so sad, he is same as my grand father. He came from Tibet. This scenery is very nice. I believe our culture and religion are same very peaceful. I'am Tibetan but was born India. I heard our culture these activities from my late grand father. SAVE OUR CULTURE AND LANGUAGE! one day I want to visit to Sikkim and Bhutan as well.

      Ani Yanky,
      The poor Tibetan are caught within geopolitical struggles and are therefore separated within their traditional homeland. The Great Himalayan Plateau does not belong to any country. It is the home of the peaceful Tibetan people.

    Beautifully narrated. Covered all aspects of future of this profession. I personally have been to many places shown in the documentary and know many of the people shown. Apart from the scenic view the question to ask is also the sustainability of this tribe. Life is extreme and with no help coming from any authorities the future seems deem as clearly no younger generation will be filling up these great legends. Sadly there is not even good survey held for number of yaks and sheeps. Awareness is the call for the moment but solution is not easy..

I visited the village up beyond Thangu prior to the snows closing the pass, and the trek to the village was quite arduous. Well done to all of you.

    Better than a National Geographic , BBC or PBS doc! The questions asked by the “anthropologist” were perfect. Documenting a clearly dying way of life at the cusp of their disappearance is very important. Climate change, Chinese aggression, the lure of the ‘easier’ life in the cities are dooming this ancient lifestyle. Once gone, how will these people know who they are? Hope, I guess, is in the future of the city educated children... unless they just drink and ramble around!

      I'm not expert...but I feel Tibetan cold dersert is drier and experience less snow than Himalayas... So there does exist a chance of finding more vegetation as compared to Himalayas.. specially gurudongmar tsolhamo region
      And during summer months Tibetan plateaus experience extreme climate with warm -hot days and cold-chilly nights...compared to that Himalaya experiences a much favourable climate...

    • @annabalikcidenjongpa4825
      @annabalikcidenjongpa4825 6 років тому +4

      It is explained in the begining. They used to take the animals down in winter in Tibet, and up to Sikkim in summer. After the border closed in 1962, they were forced to stay in Sikkim and adapt their migration pattern. Since they could not go further down in winter in Sikkim because of agriculture and private land, they reversed the migration. They go up in winter, and the yak survive because the wind exposes grass on hill tops. They have to be fed a special mixture (explained in the film) when the snow is too heavy to be blown away
