Khampa nomad girl in traditional clothes. Litang, Sichuan, China


Every August a large horse festival is held in Litang, attended by thousands of Khampas. For a week they gather in a huge tented camp to show of their skill on horseback, sing and dance. The festival is the highlight of the year for many Nomads who are living very isolated the rest of the year
