Grazing Yaks near Lake Namtso in Tibet and the highest saltwater lake in the world located at 4800 meter.
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 are often the only fuel available on the high treeless Tibetan Plateau
