Hiking in Ganzi

Walking around Ganzi, we come across one of its monasteries. We enter to find several women doing the prayer circuit – circumnavigating the inner temple in a clockwise direction. They ask us to join them for a few rounds, which we do.

From the monastery we walk to another village and are given a tour of their monastery also.

We climb a small mountain and meet a local Tibetan boy who invites us to his place for lunch.

When we arrive at the village, we are invited by a Tibetan woman to eat lunch and try the local food, black tea, butter and a flour which you mix together and eat. After lunch, we realise that this isn’t the house of the boy we’d met earlier.

After describing the boy’s appearance to some of the local kids, we meet his sister and pass on a note to him. In the process of looking for the boy, most of the village’s children and some of the old women join us in our search.

One of the girls has boogers running out of both nostrils but every time I try to catch a picture, either she or her boogers disappears.
