Tamang Lohsar

I was tired of carrying rucksack loaded with down jacket, books some eatery thing which I think will be helpful during trekking but at a point I felt pointless of carrying things when you are at 5140 meter above sea level and 47.9 km of walking and the weight pushes you downward while heading up.

Walking that much with stuff suitable you think with extra necessary stuff like camera and extra lenses is much hard then you had imagined.

I was at Gorakshep heading towards Everest base camp wondering how could be every place name stick in its tail with ‘che’ that sound when the local speaks: Namche-Tyangboche-Pangboche-Dingouche-Pheriche-Lobuche-Gorapche and Gorapche (Gorakshep) is the last station of hotel area that leads to base camp. Thought came to catch some thin air and pointed my lens towards world’s top peak which can't be capture from base camp. In the mean time ‘Tong-Tong’ melancholic bell sound made my neck turn north-east and there appears a caravan of Yak with the bell hanged in neck.

‘Yak’ the main means of transportation for the locals of northern belt of the ‘Solukhumbu’ district to Nepal. Local use Yaks to carry food, grains and other necessary goods for domestic purposes and business purposes in the locality as well as to the Mt. Everest base camp.

Like camel is the ship of the desert, I say Yak is the ship of mountain.

So, took some snap of the creature that carries the physical adaptability in high altitude which was heading towards me from base camp carrying stuff of the mountaineers and tourist.
