Taxes were actually paid to the Dzongka Dzong (fortress) at the border of Tibet, a few days walk from Sama Gaon, as late as the 1940s until it was taken over by the Gorkhas in the late 19th century.

The villagers of Samdo came across the border from the village of Riu after 1959 ad and built their new village here, at their old herding settlement. Samdo village is a collection of houses and lodges at 3850 m, and most trekkers miss the heat of a week ago as we huddle around the stove and wind from Tibet batters the windowpanes.

Cross Larkya La (5215m) and trek to Bimtang (3590m)
After a short climb above the campsite, we reach the valley on the Northside of the Larkya Glaciers where we have views of Cho Danda and Larkya Peak.
We continue across the moraines of the glacier, making a gradual ascent which
becomes steeper only in the last section to the pass, which takes us about three
hours to summit. From the pass, there are outstanding views of Himlung Himal,
Cheo Himal, Kangguru, and the huge mountain Annapurna II. If there is fresh
snow, we may see Snow Leopard prints from the evening before; it's also blue
sheep (Bharal) and Tibetan Snow Cock territory.
The views from the top of the pass are truly astonishing. After hanging our
Tibetan prayer flags, and yelling 'Ki ki so so lha gyalo' (may the Gods be
victorious), get ready for a steep, ankle straining drop to a trail following
the glacial moraine, very slippery if covered in snow so have your 'Yak tracks'
ready if you've brought them, and definitely use trekking poles. It is a longer
day than usual to our campsite at Bimtang, but to walk into these low pastures
with the evening mist coming in and Manaslu; it's an experience of a lifetime not
to be missed. A boulder-strewn descent brings us, finally, to Bimtang, where
the three sisters of the 'Three Sisters Hotel' are on hand with Himalayan
chilled beer. O/N at Teahouse (B,L, D)
