Tibetan Wild Yak at Qing-zang Plateau

The Qing-Zang Plateau, often described as the roof of the world, stretches out as one of the highest and most extensive elevated regions on Earth, its immense open grasslands and arid steppe providing a striking backdrop for photographing the Tibetan Wild Yak. This vast highland scenery lends a real sense of scale to images, with the animals often dwarfed by the sweeping plains and distant horizons. Travellers joining the Tibetan Wildlife of the Qing-Zang Plateau holiday in November should come prepared for the demands of high-altitude photography, as conditions here are as extreme as the landscape is spectacular. Patience is rewarded with images that capture both the yak and the sheer scale of its plateau home.
