Bhavita has single handedly built a grassroots conservation project to study and support the lives of horse herders of the Himalaya since several years. Her special focus is on the fast-disappearing ponies across the foothills of the holy ranges from Mount Kailash, to the valleys around Mount Everest.

Her project 'Cowboys of the Lost Horizon' documents the last generation of horse traders and closely studies the few horsemen remaining in their homelands.

This is an intersectional project weaving together conservation, science, biology, eco-feminism, and traditional horse economies. 

Her project has been graciously supported by National Geographic, Internews (USA), Explorer’s Club (USA) and the Exodus Travels (Canada).

Bhavita is a storyteller, an adventurer, an ecofeminist and a budding horse conservationist with over a decade long experience around the pastoral communities of the trans-Himalayan region in India, Bhutan and Nepal. 

Bhavita’s documentary work reflects her love for the wilderness, which led her to chase Himalayan nomads across the most remote corners of the mountains.

She recently partnered with the National Geographic Society on a 5000-kilometer foot traverse across northern India, literally walking back for over a year toward the world’s most isolated nomadic communities in the Himalaya.  

Her work has been featured in National Geographic, Explorer’s Club, the New Yorker etc.

It can take up to 10 years to weave a black tent from yak wool - said to be more sturdy than the Chinese white tent alongside, here in Upper Dolpo.
