Phew ! At last, we are in the mountain. Here stops the bus road. We have to go on by foot. Far off, we can see the snow on the summits.
At feet of mountains, there are big areas of grass called meadows. No tree to grow here but lives a strange animal : the yak. Yaks look like big cows but with very long horns and with very long hairs. As for their distant cousins, they like cropping meadows grass ! They are ruminants.
