Plenty of overnight snow but a spectacularly beautiful morning.
Chris emerges.
Sonam already into his tea.
The walking was slow but not difficult.
Plenty of winter photos.
The top of this pass, the Bari La, was at 3827 m.

Then, at last, Gasa with it's impressive Dzong. However, the adventure was not yet over as it took several hours to get transport down the new road to our stranded bus - then a few hours drive to Punakha where we....
were reunited with Mary and Carolyn who had been tourists whilst Mary made her full recovery.
Many beers were consumed this night !!!
