Yak Cheese in Nepal .

Nepal is well known mountainous country in the world . Nearly , 17% of land is covered with snow permanently or temporarily . There is huge cultural and natural diversity . 

In the Himalayan Region , Yak is very strong animal , lives in high altitude nearly above 3000m . Yak is useful for various purpose like for meat , wool , milk and portage . 

Yak Cheese is produced in various part of Nepal . And out of it Langtang is well known for this . There are cheese production centers in Kyanjing Gompa , Sing Gompa , Pike Peak etc . 

During my last visit in Pike Peak , I met a man who spent nearly 30 years in this cheese production process. He has got many stories to tell , explain and transfer . 

I have uploaded this short video , which is in Nepali , and can be interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lulfQuGmYGU
