Wakhi nomad women with yaks, Tajikistan Wakhan Corridor

Wakhi nomad women milk yaks. In a thin strip of land wedged between Tajikistan and Pakistan, there is a precarious peace where the Taliban has struggled to impose their rule. Known as the Wakhan Corridor, approximately 12,000 villagers reside at an altitude of 4,500m and live a simple life with their livestock
