Day 11:Samdo Rest Day

This is another day set aside for proper practice. There are two options for us today. The option we recommend is to go up, up the valley directly behind the village of Samdo. This increase will take us to some of the business transit to Tibet to get some good ideas about Mt. Manlulu & other Himalayan tribes include Simrang, Hiunchuli, Ngadi, Larkye Peak, Che, & Kang Guru in the background. On the way to this view, we pass many seasonal herds called doxas & see other beautiful mountain birds such as Lophophorus (Nepal's national bird), Lammergeyer, & Himalayan Griffin. Another modern route would be a trip to Gya La ('great crossing') north of Samdo, the busiest trade route to Tibet. However, this is a long walk (all day) which is why it can be a little stressful. Overnight in Samdo.
