Full day rest and explore around

There are lots of places to explore around this village. We can hike up to Kyanjin Ri (4700m/15,420ft) from where we can see panoramic view of the snow capped mountains in front of our eyes. Or we can hike up to Tserko Ri (5000m/16404ft). As we are hiking in high altitude we can feel thin air so better walk slowly and try to breathe more oxygen so we don’t suffer from altitude sickness. We can walk around surrounding hills, explore gompa, visit cheese factory etc. After walking around the surrounding hills and exploring the place we come back to Kyanjing and stay here for the night.

We can deep our body in freezing cold water which is also known as holy bath according to Hindu religion. We have to ascend by rough trail so it’s hard day for us!
