The quiteness in the endless green valleys around Litang, spotted by herd of yaks on the hills, is only broken by a summer storm.

The men, but specially the khampa women leave behind their humble nomad daily clothing and dress up with their best garments and jewelry, not to mention their spectacular hairstyle.

In the warm summer days, the life of the family takes place mostly outside. Their yak wool tents are only meant to use for cooking, eating and sleeping.Their home is the whole mountain. In the photo are Ganze, Mother and little Chesa.
