Shimla, Sept 5: The elusive Yaks, known as the camel of the
snow, frequently descends from the pristine Himalayas to roam
freely on the streets in Shimla, and now the authorities have
found a useful way to deal with it.
For tourists visiting Shimla, a yak ride always meant a journey
to the far reaches of the snow clad Himalayan mountains, but all
that is now possible within the comfort of the hill station
itself, of course for a small sum of money.
The Shimla Municipal Corporation in its bid to introduce new
attractions for tourists has given out licences to Yak owners to
ferry people around.
"Shimla has always been an attraction for tourists, so in order
to attract more tourists we have introduced yak rides. Though
horse rides are a common scene here, yak is a new attraction.
It's not only about money, if we have good tourist attractions
here, once they go back to their respective places, it will speak
good about Shimla. We have issued the license for three months
which will be extended as per the results," Sohan Lal, Mayor,
Municipal Corporation, Shimla.
