HIMALAYA: HUMLA: Bhotia boy at Yalbang
Bhotia boy at Yalbang
Yalbang lies on what was the main trade route between Humla and Tibet. The Chinese authorities proscribed this trade when they occupied Tibet, and since then the entire Humla region has become impoverished and food deficient. The annual mela (trade fair) at Yalbang is now receding into the memories of the elders.
