This video is a documentation of a day with Mingmar's life. At aged twenty-eight, is one of the yartsa gumbu harvesters leaving behind his wife, three children, one newly born baby boy. He walks up the mountain everyday from their stone summer shepherd hut, close to the snow line with his cousin and their young friend, Kumar, high with hopes of finding lots of yartsa-gumbu. They crouch and crawl all day crossing a mountain field in mulled silence, picking through blades of grass and staring at the soil, until a lucky sole searcher lets out an excited cry as he lifts up a clump of earth and sifts out the yartsa gumbu. Its a 24 hrs lifestyle during Mingmar's yartsa harvest.
