152 PEKING TO LHASA
11 miles he reached the top of a spur which he
thought must be a pass, but there was still a
hard climb beyond to the Nam-tso La, 14,867 feet.
The descent was awful over countless stones—
one of the worst roads he had ever been on. But
at 17 miles he reached a pretty grass valley with
many trees. And at 19 miles he reached La-me,
commonly called Lagang.
Eleven of these 19 miles he walked, and after
writing up his notes he felt quite played out.
His back ached and he felt " very ancient ". He
would rather have done 30 miles on the English
level roads. Both at Lamda and La-me there
were other villages with both barley and wheat
cultivation. He saw many marmots, and on
the high ground several ma-chi, white bustard
pheasants.
Ascending the Dze Chu valley on September 8
he reached Ngenda, wrongly called Nyulda by
Rockhill, 15/- miles. The going was mostly good
and there were only two climbs. The valleys were
well wooded, chiefly with fir, but there was some
spruce, maple and acacia. Ngenda is a village of
eleven families. And westward from here prob-
ably no white man had been since Huc and Gabet,
seventy-six years before.
The main road to Lhasa goes south-west from
Ngenda, but as the bridge over the Salween had
been damaged by recent rains Pereira had to leave
the main road and strike off north-west, for a few
miles following the road to Riwoche up the right
bank of the Dze Chu, an affluent of the Mekong.
The going was good and the scenery beautiful.
The hills were high and fairly wooded with fir.
