CHAPTER XVI
CHAMDO TO LHASA
THE basin of the Tsang Po, the Brahmaputra, had
now been reached. Pereira sighed with relief at
the thought that the worst pass was now behind.
He was in country whose waters drained to India.
He was in the basin of a river into which the water
from Lhasa flowed. He was obviously nearing
his goal and was half-way from Chamdo to Lhasa.
But he had still a succession of high ridges to cross
and winter was drawing near.
Alando was reached on September 26 after a
long march of 24 miles. The way led at first down
the Chara Chu valley. The river flows into the
Tsang Po, but it is only possible to go down the
valley in winter when the river is frozen. On the
south on this day's march were ranges with snow-
covered peaks which must be 16,000 feet high
with higher still'behind, and one solitary high peak.
The lower slopes were covered with fir. The
going was good for 10 miles and the path lay about
600 feet above the river. A good many villages
surrounded with fields were passed. Then there
was an ascent of 600 feet by a not very wide
rocky path with an almost precipitous drop to
the river. After this the path leads down again
