THE PLATEAU
Hoops on the Roof of the World: On any given day 3,200m (10,500ft) high up on the vast Tibetan Plateau you will find nomads herding their yak and sheep and monks reciting their mantras. You will also find them playing one of their favorite sports: Basketball…
THE ATLANTIC - “TIBET IS GOING CRAZY FOR HOOPS”
“Monks, nomads, and a sport’s unlikely ascent in a remote corner of the globe…”
THE TEAM
Norlha Basketball’s semi-professional men’s and amateur women’s and youth programs consists of the nomads of the Zorge Ritoma region, the nomads-turned-artisans of the social enterprise Norlha, and an advisory board of local Buddhist monks.
