Lamayuru

Here we found Stanzin our pony man, but no food...... we decided to walk to start our trek with no food and hopefully buy food at the next two villages of Wanla and Phanjila. We also needed a pressure cooker (rice cooks very slowly at this altitude - water boils at about 85C) and plates. In Lamayuru the village was very chilled - mainly old people left behind with the little children. The village has the best Gompa (monastery) in the region and also a very strange post office (a red box attached to a post)....It worked - the mail arrived.
