An easier day today, with everyone in refreshed after a good night's sleep and a lie in. A relaxed 10 am departure gave me time for photos of beautiful swathes of the pink flowers on the opposite bank of the Lham-chu, and a chirpy bouncy red breasted bird. Most trekkers aim to complete today's portion as part of day 2 - but to be honest I doubt any of us could have done that without getting to the jelly legs stage. The boulder fields continued, interspersed with patches of bog and mud, but eventually the going got easier and we got a sense of perspective when we encountered two Tibetan prostrating pilgrims on their kora.
We lunched at the new (large) tent camp in the meadow where the Tobchan-chu joins the Lham-chu (now known as the Dzong-chu), and then strolled along to Zutul-puk Monastery. Although the monastery looks old, it's one of the many that had to be rebuilt after the cultural revolution. That notwithstanding it was a lovely small place to soak up Tibetan Buddhism, and put me in mind of the dzong we'd visited in Bhutan.
Our river bank camp was a short distance further on, but it took us ages to get there as we were all distracted by super cute marmots. Unfortunately the rain set in shortly after we arrived, c3pm, and so most of the afternoon was spent drinking tea and chatting in the dining tent and snoozing in my tent - it was one of those times that I wished I had a good book to read! Antisocial, I know....

Acacia myrtifolia prostrate form, or the Prostrate Myrtle Wattle. This little beauty was planted in the garden some time ago and finally started flowering in mid-September. A piece of Callistemon flower had naturally fallen onto the wattle which made for a pretty photo, I thought! [Lower Blue Mountains, NSW.]
Some pilgrims, not just monks, make circuits of the Barkhor prostrating themselves at every step. Exceptionally devout pilgrims travel long distances on pilgrimages, sometimes many hundreds of miles, prostrating themselves at every step - such pilgrimages, e.g. to Mount Kailash can take years.

This annual bunchgrass lies mostly prostrate on the sandy and gravelly shores of the Jefferson River in this area.

The combination of this spicate inflorescence, annual rosette growth form, and a hairy ligule is very distinctive.

Introduced, cool-season, annual, low-growing, hairless legume, with prostrate to ascending stems. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each oblong to ovate and 8-16 mm long. The central leaflet has a distinctly longer stalk than the lateral ones. Flowerheads are dense, rounded clusters (8-15 mm long) of 20-40 yellow, inflated, pea-like flowers. Pods are oblong and 1-2 mm long. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, the Mediterranean and West Asia, it is found in pastures, woodlands and roadsides; although more common on roadsides than in grazed pastures. Usually found on coarse-textured low-fertility soils where groundcover is reduced. Generally only found at low densities in pastures. Provides good quality feed, but it is not very productive.

The prayer form is to begin by standing, feet together, and place the palms together, then raise them above the head. Next, bend down before kneeling, and place the hands face down onto the floor (usually on blocks), slide the hands forward on the ground to strech out the whole body flat (keeping the feet planted). Then reverse these moves back to the standing position.
Each prostration is a meritous act.
Introduced, warm-season, annual or biennial, mat-forming herb, with a deep taproot. Stems are prostrate, to 1 m long and arise from the one point. Branch leaves are about half the size of stem leaves; leaves are narrow-elliptic to narrow-ovate, 15–50 mm long, 3–15 mm wide and 4–5 times as long as wide.. Flowers are small (2.6-4 mm long), pink or white and solitary or in small clusters in the leaf axils. Flowering is from spring to autumn. A native of Europe, it is a weed of disturbed areas, particularly roadsides, wasteland, cropping paddocks, gateways and degraded pastures. An indicator of poor ground cover.

This colourful new prostrate Coprosma from the Chatman Islands was selected by Tom Johnson. Autumn Haze has small glossy cream and green variegated foliage delightfully coloured with soft peach to apricot tones. The plant forms a dense groundcover making it an ideal choice for low maintenance gardening at the front of the border or as a specimen in a low pot on the deck or patio. Autumn Haze is half-hardy.
Autumn haze is protected by Plant Breeders Rights in Europe under number EU 20071785.
The variety has been bred by Tom Johnson, New Zealand.
