text: Via Ramji and Ginare and Malangpa to Moldam. In Ramji several houses were decorated with marigolds and cockscomb. I got a couple of celts, one a fine shouldered one.
text: Ginare had a fine round sitting stone in front of the village, carved with a frog and with footprints, a favourite form of ornamentation here-abouts.
text: Malangpa had a few of the "pear" monoliths, but most of them broken, and one appeared to have had its top knocked off to make it into a sitting stone. There was also a pair of twin tanks, and with the pear stone one of another type having a cleft top.
