Shegar

Our first real day hike

8 Sept: Shegar

We stayed at New Shegar and took a day hike up to the old Shegar Dzong (fort) and gompa, one of the best day hikes there is. Some kids showed us the way for some biscuits and pocket money.

Chris says of a local toilet: "Why does a bear shit in the woods? He's seen a Chinese toilet..."
