Yaks grazing we reach at Chendebji Chorten. This Chorten or Stupa was built in 18th century by a Lama known as Shida, in order to nail into the ground a demon who had been terrorizing the inhabitants of this valley and the Ada valley just over the ridge. We will have our packed lunch here. We arrive at the most beautiful valley in the Kingdom. From the road its two minutes down to a suspension bridge over a clear stream, the Dur Chhu.
Bridge is protected by a little shrine.
The trail is level as it follows the right bank of the Chamkhar Chhu upstream through buckwheat fields to a government animal husbandry office. It's then a short distance to Thankabi Temple with its distictive yellow roof and the small village of Thankabi. The trail follows a broad ledge above the river past a 70m long painted Mani wall and a khonying with a mandala painted on the roof inside. Just beyond the archway is a trail junction. The trail to Ngang Lhakhang crosses the river on a new suspension bridge and traverses through pleasant meadows and forests of blue pine and scrub bamboo.
