insight into the lives, history, culture and religion, together
with the daily toil in the fields of its inhabitants. The valley
rim lies around 1000/ 2800 m and in the spring offers early
flowering rhododendrons and through the autumn and winter, wonderful
mountain vistas which can, from certain view-points, stretch
from Everest in the east to Annapurna in the west.
