Himalayan Thar Rules

 



Day 6- Day 2 in Phortse. Another acclimation hike to 14,125 to a beautiful vista view of Mt Chouyo  at 26,906 ft.

                                                                     Stupa near Phortse

                                                                  On the trails with Pema
The prayer flags - Blue represents the sky, White represents the Air, Red symbolizes Fire, Green represents Water and Yellow represents the Earth. Together signify Balance.


                                                                       Pema in Prayer


Also had an encounter with a Mountain Ram they call him a Himalayan Thar looking over the vast scenery of his land. 





Finished our hike with a visit to the village Monastery. A nice lunch of potatoe soup and steamed vegetable Momo, a long nap, hot shower and a relaxing evening and dinner.
