| The path up got increasingly rough and less well travelled. It did cross a road at one point which was good as on my return I seem to have selected the wrong path and ended up on the road until I found the correct crossing point. At one point on the way up the trail got so narrow and rough that I considered turning around (shown here) but it got better for most of the rest of the way. |

| As I continued up the hill I noticed the ground was littered with prayer flags which had fallen as their rope had given out. Then I understood about Lamala saying taking a prayer flag home with you. On most of my hikes I have seen a fair amount of litter (even in the monasteries) as Tibetans don't seem to worry about it (they throw away trash without a thought) but I continued my habits by picking up one piece of trash on each hike. Of course then the problem is what to do with the trash at the end as there aren't any public trash cans. Then I worry that I am just making more work for the people at the Guest House as there is more trash in my room. What to do? Anyway, I also picked up a white and blue prayer flag which I will take back to the U.S.. At the very end of the trail proper there was an overgrown spring / fountain. |

| Below that there was a stupa (I guess) with a tremendous view, a really fine old tree (most of the trees seemed a little stunted) and a tiny shack that appeared to unoccupied at the time. |
