- Summary:
- Far away from any civilization, on the dry Himalayan plateaus (up to 1 8,300 feet altitude), Tsering the shepherd devotes her whole life to her 300 hundred sheep and Pashmînâ goats that she cherishes like a mother. She grazes them under the threat of wild animals. The new generations refusing this hard lonely work, it makes those images even more rare and moving. A life far from the western world luxury industries to which the Artecashmere wool is destined.
