Village life with local guide

Watched the sunrise over the mountains then went off walking 4 seven hours with a local guy that Trevor found. He was really funny but also a bit crazy I think. He took us all around the valley but insisted he needed 2 take a weapon with him 2 protect us! Trevor carried his "sword" " knife" to start with then he said he needed it while we were in the 'jungle' and he carried it by his side for a while. Not quite sure what the danger was... Once we got out among the villages he was great, he knew everyone, took us everywhere but not 2 the Tibetan village we thought we were going 2. he drank the rice wine everywhere. Such subsistence living and very primitive way of life but everyone has a cell ph charged by solar panels! But no hot water or taps or fridge or broom. Goats, cows chickens and dogs everywhere.
