Sat 10th Sept

65 km along the valley. Beautiful scenery with a fast flowing grey blue river and mountains, autumn just starting with some yellow leaves.  Excellent cooked lunch of rice and veg curry 

(yak for the meateaters) under the trees by the river. We stayed in a village guest house with a courtyard. The village houses had wonderful finely carved doorways with painted wood, metal grilles with gods and double doors with huge door handles. 

First big climb today.
