After walking up many many steps, Bekah and I stayed at a monastery near the top of the mountain. It’s a Buddhist monastery that was established sometime before the 16th century, and is now a popular walking destination for people who live in this area. Most people walk up and down in the same day, but we thought it would be interesting to stay the night.

In these pictures, Emmeline, you can see some of the steps that we walked up, and some of the mountains around the one we were walking on. There was also a man who was carrying a load of bricks up the steps. He carried a stick to help him climb, and when he took a rest he put that stick under his basket like a chair with just one leg. He was resting about every 10 or 15 steps when we passed him.

You can also see some of the shrines and temples along the path.

This is the room we stayed in. It was small, about the size your parents’ bedroom in our house. At night they put this net around the beds to keep the bugs out.
