Now way man...they are as deadly as Tigers and Bears. We take information if they are around during our trek in their habitat. Only Yaks are made pets in Himalayan regions.
Thanks p.young. As far as I know these are not used as working animals. I only saw them in the wild. Perhaps Ashish can shed some more light on this if I am wrong.
Good photo! Do they use these as working animals?
