The children started off as usual, complaining and grumpy. But soon their energy picked up and they got excited when they see horses.
The terrain was beautiful- snow mountains as background. Stupa appears every now and then. Cows, horses, yaks, zo (a cross of yak and bull), sheep grazing along the way.
On the way, we pass Banyan Tree luxury accommodation. Very nice.
On the other end, a very kind Tibetan family await us with yak butter tea, yak cheese and bread. Ever so kind! The tea was very much appreciated after such a long walk.
Finally, we headed up another hill to get to the Five Buddha Temple. Very peaceful! What is most interesting is that the front inner yard of the temple is a little animal farm. Local come here to release animals that were destined for slaughter. There were goats, chicken, rabbits, dogs etc etc.
We arrived home with sore feet but happy! Now we all sat soaking our feet in hot water and wondering where to go for dinner.
