Descending towards Marulung (4,200m)

50 or more yaks emerge from a high trail, out of the gloom. Good news as they will break trail nicely

The yaks catch us up

The yak herder follows up the rear, yelling and whipping

Our trail onwards is ploughed by the yaks

Looking south to Thame Teng (3,850m)
