Visiting the craft shops

As well as going to the prayer flag Pass, we also visited a weaving village. It was Sunday, so there wasn’t very much weaving going on, but the shop had a wonderful array of woven blankets, scarves and assorted other bits and pieces. The loom at the front of the shop looked very old. There was also a tablet weaving loom, similar to what I have at home.

Our next stop was a handicraft shop, which was almost an antique shop. Some very old and beautiful things in there as well.

We ended our day back in Chumkhar with a late lunch around 3pm! It was another wonderful day with our teacher friends, Tashi and Sonam.
