On the way

This day, we started off at 7:00 and were aiming  to Sing Gompa.

and we were leaving Thulo Syabu

 

On the way, we met this black dog.  It followed us over an hour, and found its way to accompany us.  It knew when to stop and wait for us and led us sometimes.


It was a mid-way stop.  There were many shrines along the way.  Our potter took the chance to have a rest

Blossoms and greenery overy the fairy background

 

Another stop - Dursagang, but we did not took long rest here.  There were lots of tea houses around that they liked to have a cup of hot Masala tea.  The weather still not so good.

Nepali ladies dressed like that.  However, it was strange to me that many of them wearing a pair of spectacles.  Babo said that their sight were weaken by strong sunlight.

 

Lots of blossoms

Then we arrived at Phobrang Danda at around 11:00

 

Simple settings in the tea house.  But as it was very cold and we gathered around the heater.

 

I liked the menu that there was a location map at the back page showing our trek.  We started at Thulo Bharku at 1860m --> Thulo Syabu at 2210m --> Phobrang Dada at 3010m.
We were so admired to see vapour from the body.

 

I was starved and finished the whole plate of fried potatoes.  At here, we met groups of visitors from different countries, including some Malaysian friends who speak Cantonese.
