Gyantse

This town is smaller and even more Tibetan feeling than Shigatse. There are a few hotels, so there MUST be other outsiders, but it doesn't feel like it. We caught a tractor to a tiny village about 20 mins away, to see this old Manor. The ice was caked in the roadside drains, the plains of various agricultural plots stretched out to the brown, jagged mountains. On the way back we caught a horse-cart, which was a complete novelty for us as well as the drovers and other passengers that got on. What a great place. If only there was a skeric of oxygen about, I might stay a bit.
