The following day we drove to 11,800 feet into the mountains to Bitahai. Passing through a farming village high in the mountains, we saw young men playing basketball on a dirt court. One of the village houses had a television satellite dish. There were some different plants seen including Primula sinopupera var. album, Clematis montana (white), Daphnie himalense, a brushy Quercus, a creeping juniper, Larix potaninii and several Berberus species. There were many Iris species but none in bloom. A herd of Yaks were grazing at the pass where the bus turned around. Rhododendrons seen included R. decorum, R. rubiginosum, R. uvarifolium, R. yunnanense, R. vernicosum, R. hippophaeoides, R. oreotrephes and R. racemosum. The first R. vernicosum seen was a huge tree at least forty feet tall in full bloom.
