A long 21 km. day through deep canyons filled with autumn colours.

After a lunch stop near a large cave we met the party of the King's sister.

Princess Euphelma Choden Wangchuk, aged 19, was on her way to Laya but stopped and had a few words with us.


At the top of the pass above Koina the trees were thick with moss and the heavy cloud brought snow - plenty of it.
