Definitelynomadic.com has two lines of work -- we are an arts cooperative, working to develop a folk art and handicraft industry in Kham, Eastern Tibet; and we are a trekking company. We offer treks and workshops that give a first-hand experiential look into rural Tibetan culture, including artisan workshops and yak husbandry workshops. Groups are small and the focus is on getting to know the people. Our folk art include all kinds of yak hair and leather items, all with a traditional base. We also have Tibetan sheep wool items, wooden items. and Tibetan fashion.
Losar, the Tibetan New Year, is coming up on February 14. Preparations have started with many nomads appearing these days in Chengdu and Kangding, buying holiday supplies (mainly food and candy). Please join us here to celebrate the New Year!
If you can't make it, celebrate in spirit by getting up just at dawn, February 14, to bring in fresh new water from whatever clean outdoor source you can find. Wash your face and hands with this Losar water, and make your morning tea (or coffee) with it!
