Goats heading to market
On the trail between Ghorepaani and Taatopaani, Nepal, a man herds goats to market. Goat herding is an important occupation in the high mountains where there are plenty of grasslands available for grazing. These goats are sold in towns and cities, and villages, during Dashain festival, the national festival of Nepal, when they are sacrificed to the Hindu goddess Durga.
