A lonely yak

This yak cow seemed to welcome us back to the starting point.
Some travelers do the Kora by riding on a yak animal but this cow seems to be used to carry goods.
Yaks are the most important lifestock for Tibetan people.
Domesticated yaks have been kept for thousands of years, primarily for their milk, fibre and meat, and as beasts of burden. Their dried droppings are an important fuel, used all over Tibet, and is often the only fuel available on the high treeless Tibetan Plateau. Yaks transport goods across mountain passes for local farmers and traders as well as for climbing and trekking expeditions. "Only one thing makes it hard to use yaks for long journeys in barren regions. They will not eat grain, which could be carried on the journey.
