MY FIRST JOURNEY ACROSS THE TRANSHIMALAYA.
Camp CXIX is situated in the valley of the Muva-checken, which is either a southern or left tributary to the Sela valley or Ke-tsangpo mentioned above, or pierces its course directly to the Mü-chu. If my conjecture is correct, viz. that the Shib - la and Chang-la-Pod-la belong to one and the same range, the latter hydro-graphical arrangement seems to be the more probable.
Panorama 128A and B, Tab. 23, is, again, instructive, as it gives the spectator a clear idea of the mountains visible from Shib-la, and their morphological features. To the N. I I° W. we behold the valley of Porung, by which we had just ascended to Shib-la. To the N. N. E. we see in a far perspective the E. N. E. continuation of the Pabla Range. It is impossible to tell where it goes to. I only have a suspicion that it stretches to the E. N. E. or even between E. N. E. and N. E. and thus is parallel to the A ïen-then-tang--la. To the N. 6o° E. we have the very flat protuberance of the crest of the Shib-la Range itself. The most interesting is here to notice that we, standing on the pass, have a nearly quite free view to the N. 6o° E. Usually, a pass is a saddle without any distant view in the direction of the crest. The crest of the Shib-la Range is, therefore, very even, and on the pass one has the impression of being nearly at the highest point. The same is the case in the other direction as may easily be seen on the panorama. To the S. E. a range, Luba, is visible which certainly is the eastern continuation of the range of Chesang--la. S. i 6° W. we see the valley by which we have to ascend to Chesang--la. S. 85° W. is the valley of Muva-checken directed to the west, and at the brook of which our
Camp CXIX is pitched.
From the camp just mentioned Panorama 13 2 A and B, Tab. 24, was drawn embracing nearly all the surrounding mountains. Between the mountains to the west the valley of the Muva - checken goes down. A little sketch, Pan. 134, Tab. 24, is a view to the S. W. and west up the valley of the little tributary Dang-sar, showing that the valleys in these regions, and in spite of the outlet to the sea, are not at all deep-cut, but rather flat and open.
Our course on February 2nd is due south crossing a new range in the pass Chesang-la. This range is either a ramification from one of the neighbouring ranges or a more independent range parallel with the two we had crossed in Sela - la and
Shib - la. West of Chesang -la it is pierced by the Mü - chu just below or south of its sharp bend from an eastern to a southern direction.
From Camp CXIX to Chesang-la the distance is 10.6 km. south. The pass has an altitude of 5,474 m. or 476 m. above Camp CXIX, being a rise of I :22.3.
Camp CXX at Tak-rerar is at an altitude of 4,635 m. or 839 m. below Chesang-la. The distance here being I 0.1 km., the rate of descent is as I : 12, nearly twice as steep as on the northern side. Here again the northern slope is more gradual than the southern.
