Our first experience as Herders

We arrived at Ekhee's house at about 1:30pm and after lunch Bek departed back to Olgii and we remained for the night. 

In the evening, the lady owner asked if we can help collect and bring home baby yaks and I excitedly answered yes without realising that the baby yaks were wondering at the mountain itself. The ladies decided to follow as well and as we stepped out from the house, the view was mesmerising as we can see herds of goats, yaks and camels with the background of snowcapped mountains shined by the setting sun. We forgot about our duty and spent time taking photos again and again. Nolan had to warn us that the baby yaks are going further up the mountains and we need to be fast.

 Mesmering backdrop of the place we stayed for 2 nights..and the baby yaks are somewhere there 😅

We managed to catch up with the baby yaks and I got my first experience to be a herder..

Apparently the yaks can understand malay 😝

We then watched the herds home and then continued the unfinished business of playing snow..
