Photograph (black and white) from an album; Two coracles made of yak hide stretched over willow frame can be seen at the edge of the Tsangpo River near Nyapso La waiting to take passengers across. The coracles would be made from six hides and two boats would be strapped together to provide stability when crossing the fast flowing river. These coracles would be used when the river was too deep and fast-flowing to use the regular flat-bottomed ferry. The horses were led alongside the boat
