Samar (3620m)

The brand new gompa behind Hotel Annapurna is sponsered by 2
germans. Unfortunately is but an empty gompa. Sometime I wondered
if it is wise to build a new empty temple instead of spending the
money to maintain and upkeep a more historical one.

Samar was once the stronghold of the Khampa guerrillas and
several of the guesthouse that used to cater to them are still in
operation, except now to the trekkers.
