Yaks are important high-altitude animals in Nepal’s Himalayan regions and are connected with pastoralism, transport, dairy systems, and mountain livelihoods.
Yaks are associated with cold, high-elevation environments where lower-altitude livestock may be less suitable.
Yak systems connect dairy foods, transport, trekking logistics, mountain trade, and local identity in Himalayan communities.
