About the Project

Bhavita has been painstakingly building a grassroots project from Kathmandu to study & support the lives of horse herders and yak nomads, particularly the fast disappearing ponies across Dolpo, and the larger Himalaya and regions like Dhorpatan, Mustang, Manang, Gorkha, Everest, Sikkim etc.

Bhavita has been painstakingly building a grassroots project from Kathmandu to study & support the lives of horse herders and yak nomads, particularly the fast disappearing ponies across Dolpo, and the larger Himalaya and regions like Dhorpatan, Mustang, Manang, Gorkha, Everest, Sikkim etc.     

Through her project, Cowboys of the Lost Horizon, Bhavita aims to create a long-term multimedia project that will document the last generation of horse traders and study closely the few horsemen that have chosen to stay back in their homelands. She also hopes to bring attention to the threatened horses across the highest passes of the Himalaya, and to bring support for the horse communities of Dolpo and the larger Himal. Roads are now arriving in remote Himalayan regions like Dolpo, raising critical  concerns for the survival of the horses in once inaccessible regions of Nepal.

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.
