Fresh meat heading toward Jomson

One of two lush green valleys before you reach Marpa

The Marpa area is known for its large apple orchards

Another beautiful valley

Troops from the Army Mountaineering School in Jomson out for an early morning rucksack run

Looking back toward Jomson

Great looking mules

Some of the older buildings had neat balconies and detailed woodwork
