May 25, 2019. During the previous evening's discussion with Karan of Deyzor we decided to see the Pin Valley and the village of Mudh मुद. Our route for today.
Got out of warm, cosy bed and made myself some tea. Deyzor also keeps dried apple and roasted barley in the rooms to snack on, a most healthy way to start the day
As I usually do during my drives, I went to clean my car windshield and poured water on it - even though there was bright sunshine, it just froze! The temperature read 4ºC at 8 AM. Decided to try again later after it warmed up
Got ready. Muttley was meanwhile sunning himself under the watchful foxy eyes
A filling breakfast in the sunny garden
Thankfully, the sun warmed the windshield and I was able to clean it.
Exiting Kaza
These bikers with KA number plates stopped us to confirm that they were on the road to Kaza
Crossing the bridge before turning left towards the Pin river valley
Some more scenes from the drive
Sangnam en route to Mudh
Road beyond Mudh was covered by the tail of a glacier and impossible to drive through. Parked our car just beyond Mudh and went for tea to Tara Homestay where we also placed our orders for lunch.
Kids were delighted to see a little dog even smaller than them. However, Muttley ignored them and went exploring
Where is the dog going?
Waiting for her turn to fill water
Meanwhile, Muttley who had refused food in Kaza happily ate dry bread from Tenzin Dolma, our hostess!
Walked across to the glacier
Village across the glacier
Muttley enjoyed himself on the snow
After spending some time there we returned for a Tibetan pizza & momo lunch
On our hostess' advice, after lunch we walked down to the river and went across the hanging bridge to the other side
Thrilled to see more ice, Muttley went exploring and almost fell into the thin ice around the little hole. He saved himself somehow and sprang back. By the time we returned, this bit had melted so it was indeed a narrow escape!
The bridge swayed a lot in the wind
