As we trekked from Namche to Thame, we stopped in Thamo for lunch. The village was busier than usual, as the community worked on building a new stupa. These Buddhist dome-shaped monuments are frequently found throughout the area, and are filled with relics. Tree branches and pine needles burned on a pile of rocks to fill the air with incense as the men worked hard to construct the stupa.
