This video shows the seasonal migration of Brokpas'. Brokpas are Yak herders native to Monpa community of Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh in the North East of India.
During the month of June, as it starts to get warmer the Brokpas' start their 3-4 month seasonal migration towards the mountains, as the mother Yaks needs green pasture to feed on in order to sustain their new born calves.
The Brokpas' need that nutritious milk to make cheese and butter, since that's their only means for bread and butter.
The way these nomadic Yak herders live their live is very simple, self sufficient, self sustainable, resilient, hard working and mostly alone away from their villages and families.
Once, the main profession of people from Monpa community were nomadic yak and sheep herders but these days only few families pursue this profession.
