Tibetan Wild Yak Photography

Photography holidays in Tibet

The Tibetan Wild Yak is a formidable, shaggy resident of some of the world's harshest and most remote terrain, and photographing it demands both patience and an appreciation for wide, high-altitude landscapes that frame the animal within its true environment. NaturesLens builds time into its itinerary to seek out these powerful creatures against the stark backdrop of the plateau, giving photographers the chance to capture images that speak as much to place as to species.

Where NaturesLens Photographs the Tibetan Wild Yak

NaturesLens runs its Tibetan Wild Yak photography holiday, Tibetan Wildlife of the Qing-Zang Plateau, in Tibet, visiting Budongquan, the Dulan Reserve, and the Qing-zang Plateau itself, with Xining serving as a key point on the route. This holiday is scheduled for November, when NaturesLens leads small groups across this remarkable high-altitude landscape in search of the yaks and the wider wildlife of the region.
