Saturday 17 November 2018: Sama Gaon / Samagaun (3500 m): Day hike to Phuyang / Pung Gyen Gompa (3870 m)

Manaslu Circuit Day 10

Route: Sama Gaon / Samagaun / सामागाउ (3500 m) - Punggyen / Phuyang / Pung Gyen Gompa (3870 m) - Sama Gaon / Samagaun / सामागाउ (3500 m)

Camp: Mr Norbu's Sama Goan Lodge campsite

Fantastic morning walking up to Punggyen Gompa, nestled at the foot of Manaslu within the wide valley carved out by the Punggyen Glacier. From the twin peaks of Manaslu the mountain vista continues on round to Ngadi Chuli, Simnang Himal and the Taninga Danda, and across the Budhi Gandaki valley to the Pang Phuchi Himal and the Kutang Himal.

The tiny gompa is accompanied by small stone roofed buildings, some of which huddle into the gulley leading up to Manaslu and strings of prayer flags arc in the breeze like streamers stretching up towards the snowline.

A fabulous, fabulous spot.

And our visit to the gompa coincided with a puja by some of the local ladies from Sama. We shared our picnic goodies and they brewed up some raksi for us. Magic.

Back in Sama, Val called to visit a friend in town who provided mugs of lovely milky coffee for us, and later on back at the lodge Steffi, Chhering, Val and I ran an eye glasses clinic. Our (beautifully organised) stock of donated specs in Pat Booth’s shoe boxes was rapidly dwindling.

This path had some interesting lines that I was making a composition with when a runner went by. Probably could have gotten him in a better spot in the frame, but I had a 2 second timer to ensure sharpness and was not expecting to have a person in the frame. Still kind of a cool shot.

I bought these solar lights at Walmart 7 years ago but never put them in the ground. Neil found the box in the garage this weekend and installed them.

Even if they never get any brighter than this, it'll be an improvement over our usually pitch black path!
