The Tibetan Nomad traditions defying the modern world

[Leshy]

Just came across this article and thought id share.

Interesting to see if the culture will prevail and snub the modern ways of life.
I certainly hope so.

Mongolia has a similar nomadic peoples and their relationship with the land and weather goes back centuries.
Hope the Government endorsed tourism industry doesn't affect their beautiful way of life, or their customs and traditions.

Please feel free to add detail and or comment on the article as well as similar situations worldwide.

Exactly. Let's hope it goes out of fashion and these tourists leave these people alone...
