Markha Valley Trek

 Inside our homestay in Skyu village. This is a family's display of their generations of metal ware, which is used for various celebrations.

Threshing barley: a typical harvest time scene among the villages we passed through. The man driving the horses or yak would be singing to keep them going in circles, while the other person would toss in more barley. After thoroughly threshing, the barley is washed, dried, roasted, and then ground to flour.

A beautiful valley view through mostly arid country with endless multicolored barren mountains.
