Staying in a tibetian village

Coming back from the mountain we had accommodation in a small village. We stayed with a tibetian family in a traditional house. On the ground floor a living room, the only room in the house with heating: A yak poo fireplace. Upstairs the guest rooms and a hole-in-the-ground toilet.

You can see the Everest from the village and also from our room!

Standing on the house's roof we watched the villagers bringing in the cattle while waiting for the sun to go down. No wonder people think the Everest is holy when all the other mountains are already dark and the peak of the Everest is the only thing still lit.もっと詳しく
