Samdo - Along the Trail

It's Friday Oct 25 and we arrived in Samdo after a 3 hour hike this morning.  Another day of blue skies and big peaks around us.

Unlike the last settlement, this place is pretty neat and sits up on a hill below a large mountain with views in all directions.

After lunch, I hiked up the trail a ways to a valley that headed to Tibet.  It's only a short distance away, perhaps a few km at most.  Then another fellow and I hiked up a steep hill behind town.  More great views.

However, by 3:30, the mountains were casting a long shadow and the temperature started to fall.  It will be a cool one tonight.  Good thing this place is built better than some of the others we've stayed in.
