Across the valley of the Peltang-chu river, Trangu monastery dominates the scenery south of Jyekundo. Visit the monastery, get in touch with the monks, and enjoy the views.
When I came out of the monastery, the square was still empty. I saw one woman, a lonely figure walking the kora around the monastery. Smoke was enveloping the square and the monastery, and I walked to the source: it was caused by burning juniper branches. A small group of young monks appeared from the smoke, and they seemed pleased by their visitor. One of them invited me over; I suddenly found myself in a school where young aspiring monks were being trained. To my surprise, some of them were standing on their desk. It appeared to be a punishment for giving a wrong answer. They were actually studying Chinese. I left the building, walked down, and came across two Tibetan women walking in traditional dress. One had a beautifully decorated silver coloured knife, while the other held two stones in her hands. I could imagine what they were for, and when I pointed to a dog, she confirmed by nodding her head with a smile. Dogs can be vicious here, and I followed suit - but did not need the stones I picked up on my way down.
