Passing The Hometown Of Cordyceps

Tibetan Cordyceps

Cordycep is an amazing creature, which is a worm during winter and grass when in summer. Having driven a few miles from Maizhokunggar which is 70km east of Lhasa, we made a left turn on the road, expecting 60 kilometers ahead to Drigung Til Monastery. Our vehicle was running always in valleys with towering mountains on each side. Director Gyangkar told us that because of Cordyceps, the Menba people here are rich, and in the harvest time, the hustle and bustle streets are filled with people.
