Wangmo, nomadic bhutanese woman, rests in her tent from yak wool, which she made by herself. Wangmo lives nomadic life in Himalayan mountains. She moves every two weeks from place to place with her 49 yaks and 9 horses all year round. She goes down, from mountains to the village, only once in a year just for three days - to see her family and to participate in buddhist ceremonies. Wangmo loves her life and doesn't want to change anything.
