Content:
Himalaya studies the poverty and perseverance of the local herders, in particular of ageing chief Tinle who first blames the young Pretender for the death of his son and secondly attacks him for his up - to - date notions of yak - herding. As a personal and social snub to the youngster, the crotchety old man insists on leading the yaks on their annual journey down savage ravines and up hostile, frozen tops so that salt can be swapped for grain and he can prove that the old ways are best.
