High altitude, warm weather and green pastures all the way to Tongren.
Came across my first herd of Yak on a mountain road. I was surprised how small they are. They are only about as tall as the motorcycle. I expected big animals because of the photographs I've seen.
The bulls are obviously bigger but still not huge.

In the middle of what seemed nowhere there was community gathering which had a 'country fair' feeling to it.
Almost at every turn there are places of religious significance. I thought this little temple had an aura of peace and tranquility.
It was a very pleasant ride through country that is harsh but also beautiful. Mid summer the three thousand seven hundred and sixty seven metre altitude didn't offer much of a challenge - different story mid winter.
