Our yak photo page

Hello everyone, lots of people search the web for yak pictures and end up here,
so instead of just one picture, we are getting a collection together.

* We run fantastic treks in Nepal (using yaks to carry loads sometimes), *
* and also run the best treks in Ladakh, Northern India, and tours to Tibet; Lhasa and Everest base camp. *

And we have (stunning) pictures of lots of our treks too, see the navigation bars.

We use yaks to carry loads from Everest Base camp to Advanced Base Camp (ABC) on the north side of Everest.

In the Kanchenjunga region, here a yak carries a load over a rough, small trail, no problem.
The tassles on its head and ears are decoration, not its own hair.
They are very sure footed, and with four legs, even if slipping on ice will keep their balance.

Sheila's popular yak photo. Yes, yaks come in whites, greys, blondes and blacks, and even a mix.

A curious yak who has just carried that load from Tibet across the Nangpa La to Namche.

This is the life! And you couldn't find a more scenic place, the second lake with Cholatse in the background.
(Near Gokyo, Everest region).

We have a great wildlife gallery
