Yak Festival



This was one of the highlights of the trip. We went horse trekking in order to reach a yak festival. This was the first time it was held so I got to attend the inaugural game of yak polo. It was very exciting and very amusing. Yaks are more agile than I would have expected but I think polo is probably best left to horses. At the festival there was also yak racing, yak showing and several singing and dancing performances.

Also, the most important thing is that I got to ride a yak.
