In the shadow of the Himalayas lies a hidden gateway to the Tibetan World, where you can still sneak in and live with nomads who practice the old ways beneath the snowcapped peaks. If you dare.

Looking for an adventure? Patru was born in these mountains and raised his family there. He Took me high up into the Himalayas to his childhood home – a secret valley beside an icy river, ringed by the Himalayan peaks. There we lived with the Tibetan nomadic yak herders, eating Tsampa bread and drinking yak butter tea. Fighting off rogue yaks, and churning butter and cheese. I learned to milk a yak and discovered how a tiny Tibetan woman can turn halfwild, sharphorned beasts into docile pets.

Discover the challenges facing these nomadic people – and the beginnings of a solution.
