Another six hours of walking. Some climbs, but mostly over level ground. Now we are walking among the mountains. It looks as if you can just reach out and touch the snow-capped peaks.
Now we're starting to enter the AMS danger zone. It seems more difficult to carry on a conversation while walking, since it's harder to catch your breath.
The Tibetan town of Pisang is of course in a spectacular location. The lower part is just hotels, but the upper part, 100 m up, is a traditional town. I walked up there, huffing and puffing. They were having an archery competition, which I watched for awhile.
