MANASLU TREK BIHIPHEDI TO LHO 27 MARCH

Yet another one of the many waterfalls

Oxen are used for ploughing, they are rented out by the local farmers from their owners and they cost Rs800/day

Spring is in the air

A pretty watermill

Ju obviously feels better as I am back in the photos 

Rhododendron trees in flower. 

A new 5 star resort is being built in Namrung , it is owned by a local who went to work in Singapour ( he still lives in Singapour) but is investing his money locally. This is going to be for rich tourists who can come just for a long weekend as they will be flown in and out by helicopter. There will be a spa and a lookout platform for the animals etc , etc ...

Lemurians , black faces and black hands as in the Hindu legend 

The fields are always very well kept , better than the abords of the villages. 

Cute Tibetan kids  " Namaste" 

'Om mani padma Hum.' 

Tibetain's flag

Mural paintings inside the entrance gates to the villages higher up in the mountains, as we approach Tibet so the paintings and the carvings become more common.

Hotel in Lho with private individual cabins 

The man who is building a 5* resort in Namrung is also building a Museum and was in Lho buying old objects from the locals.
