These men and women remain for about three weeks in spring high up

in the remote mountains of Dolpo to search for a caterpillar which

lives in the soil and looks like a small root or branch. The

caterpillar is attacked by a fungus which grows on its head. The

mashroom looks like a small grass and grows out of the soil. It is

very difficult be detected. Sometimes the daily harvest is nil to

three per person. This caterpillar with the mashroom is dried,

mashed into powder and prepared with milk. It makes the men strong

all over Asia.
