This work was carried out in the month of October 2017 in Upper Dolpo, one of the most remote regions of Nepal, during a 30-day trek. Upper Dolpo can only be reached on foot, due to the lack of roads. Local people, of Tibetan origin, lives in an archaic context, untouched by modernity, away from the routes of Himalayan treks. Life is based on agriculture and pastoralism in a very harsh environment at high altitudes.
