Vasile, thank you very much. But your photos really shine thanks to the play of light (I looked through all your photos today). We'll strive for excellence...
Eva, didn't notice. Perhaps on the opposite slope of the roof, or perhaps not at all, they're heating the stove. And if they are, it's not with firewood (Vixtur didn't find any, the forest was far below), but with dried yak cakes—dung. The cakes don't burn well, they smolder more, but, as the saying goes, in a pitiful world, even a crayfish is a fish.

Sergey Syntin, As a child, I lived in the steppe, also without a forest, and we heated it with dung (the same cakes).
Eva, I didn't notice. Maybe on the opposite roof slope, or maybe not at all, they're using a smoke stove. And if they are, it's not with firewood (Vixtur didn't find any, the forest was far below), but with dried yak cakes—manure. The cakes don't burn well, they smolder more, but as the saying goes, when there's no fish, even a crayfish is a fish.
Sergey Syntin, the chimney is always higher than the ridge. Isn't it?
And if it's some kind of generator, there should be a range hood... And there's only a striped mosquito curtain on the door... it looks like a summer house And the photo is great!
Eva, That's just the way it is here; in Nepal, everyone does it their own way, and it might even be without a chimney. The house is indeed used in the summer; yaks are walked here, but that doesn't mean the house is always uninhabited in the winter. Sherpas are a hardy people, and yaks even more so. I saw yaks even further up the slope that day. Thank you for your attention to the photo.

Sergey Syntin, thank you too for the opportunity to hike in the mountains.
