TIBET: How People Farm Beneath the Highest Mountains on Earth | 4K Travel Documentary

In Tibet, barley is still cut by hand at 12,000 feet, in fields beneath the highest mountains on Earth. This 4K travel documentary walks through twenty villages across the Tibetan plateau, starting in the barley farms of Dagze near Lhasa. In Metok, a county that only got a road in 2013, rainforest grows below a 25,000-foot peak. At Yamdrok Lake, herders graze yaks beside water full of fish that nobody catches. On the grasslands of Nagqu, more than 100,000 people gather for one week of horse racing each August, then leave only flattened grass behind. Near Old Tingri, farmers work under five Himalayan peaks above 26,000 feet, Everest among them. You will see how highland barley feeds a plateau above 4,000 meters. You will learn why a Monpa host watches your cup more closely than your plate, and why pilgrims walk around Mount Kailash instead of climbing it. By the end, you will understand why daily life in Tibet still runs on hands, one morning at a time. #traveldocumentary #tibet #lifeintibet #tibet4k
