One thing that I really really love about the culture of Himalayas is how the community treats animals/pets. In many cases, dogs are pretty much community-owned and could all be considered “strays” but in many cases they are taken care of by everybody.
Friendly stray dogs roam the streets, dropping in their favorite restaurants for a bite to eat, always drinking out of the plentiful mountain streams. Kind stray dogs will even accompany you on hikes. Its impossible not to make tons of animal friends when exploring around anywhere in the Himalayas.
