Is Dolpo yak transhumance (spring migration) happening right now?
As of today, past peak, season runs to ~June 30. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each spring Dolpo-pa herders lead yak, dzo, sheep and goats uphill from winter villages into high-altitude summer pastures.
Movements are community-coordinated and timed to local planting calendars, snowmelt, and pasture availability, typically concentrated in late May - early June.
