Giving the name to the town, Jyekundo Dondrubling sites on a hill high above the trading town of Jyekundo and is like a small town in its own right.
I walked to the other side of town, where I scrambled up to reach another imposing building. Suddenly, a fierce dog started barking at me, and was silenced only when I backed out. I walked the other way, and was invited over by an old man who was turning his prayer wheel. A very difficult trial at conversation in Tibetan followed - I managed to say something, but did not have a clue at the answers! When I tried to walk up to the same impressive building, I was again attacked by a dog, and only dared to enter when a local chased it away. I explored the backstreets - little, colourful, picturesque streets, through which every now and then monks and others passed.
