JULY 2017 : INDIA : DAY 12 : Markha (3770m) - Hankar (3980m) - 3 to 4 hour walk




We crossed the Markha River twice today to reach the village of Umlang.
Great views of Kanyaze Peak before we reached  the highest village in the Markha Valley - Hankar (3980 m)

The view up the valley from the monastery


Women working in the fields


Leading out the mule for grazing



Goats used for wool and milk


Another exciting river crossing...










  More stupas and mani walls







Sanskrit tablets 


Barley mill fuelled by water power



My favourite shot of a monastery and stupa...those energetic monks!


Our favourite parachute tent





A new foal






  More masala tea...or a slingshot?







Hanker Eco - cafe - our enthusiastic waiters


Our campsite by the river
