These are the local people. They are offer their horses for tourist. From the start of our trek, they followed us. Thruout the trip, they kept reminding us that we can hopped onto the horse if we are tired. Sigh... No peace ah.

The trek itself is so-so. I wouldn't say it's great. Just average. You can do the trek in 2 days. 1 maniac did it in 1 day (quoted from Lonely Planet.) Difficulty level- 2 out of 5 if you do it at a slow pace in 2 days.

If you like, you can also stay at the numerous lodges found along the trek. On the average, you can find 1 lodge every hour of walking. My Korean friends like it so much, they stay in one of the Naxi lodge for 5 days.
