ACROSS KORE-LA TO NEPAL.
359
extreme flatness of Kore-la to the south. As a matter of fact one does not at all get the impression of a pass from the northern side; it looks as if the plain continued with insensible undulations, or rather, quite level to the south. To the S. W., west, and N. W. is the perspective of the northern Himalaya Range, most of it, unfortunately, hidden by clouds.
On Tune 22nd, we crossed the pass Kore-la, which, at the mani cairn,' has an altitude of 4,637 m.,2 but on the water-parting itself 4,661 m. If we consider the first-mentioned figure, the rise from Camp CLXXXI to the pass, 3.3 km. distant, would be 42 m., or I :78.6. From the pass to Camp CLXXXII, Nama-shu, in Nepal, where the altitude is 3,806 m., the fall would be 83 I m., or as i : i 7. The altitude 4,66 i m. for the pass was found on the way back. To Nama-shu the direction is south, S. E., and south and the distance 14.1 km.
Pan. 232A and B, Tab. 42, is taken from Kore-la. The view is to the E. S. E., south, and W. S. W. in the direction of Nepal. Again a distant view is very much hindered by clouds. Pan. 234A and B, Tab. 43, is taken from Camp CLXXXII, Nama-shu. It is a view of the valley down through the Himalaya to the south. To the S. W., west, and N. N. W. is the wall of mountains and terraces along the right side of the valley. To the north is the valley by which we have come, to the N. E. the valley, and to the E. N. E. is a house in Nama-shu. Pan. 243, Tab. 44, is taken from a point on the road not far from Camp CLXXXII.
The road back, on 7une 23rd, to Kore-la is the same as on the previous day. From the pass to Kung-muge, Camp CLXXXIII, 4,603 m., the distance is 6.2 km., the fall 58 m. from the 4,66 i m. threshold, and the rate i : 107. Pan. 233A and B, Tab. 42, is a second view drawn from the pass. The most important part of it, or the view down to Nepal, is hidden by clouds. To the north the sky is clear the whole way in the direction of the Tsangpo. The view to the north from Camp CLXXXIII, Pan. 238 , Tab. 43, shows that we are returning again to the more flat plateau-land. To the N. N. E., at a great distance, even the Transhimalaya may be seen as a contour line.
The next march, 7une 24th, took us 24.8 km. N. N. W. to Camp. CLXXXIV, Bando, at an altitude of 4,594 m., or a fall of only 9 m., being a rate of I : 2,755. It should, however, be noticed that the ground on the last section of this march, again rises. Here a little threshold, Chasang-la, is crossed at an altitude of 4,551 m. From this little pass Pan. 2 39A and B, Tab. 43, was drawn, showing to the south the little valley by which we had ascended, and to the S. W., west, and N. W. the Himalayan Mountains which from the west border the plain of Nachalak. To the
I Between p. 320 and p. 321, Vol. II, there are a few photos from this place. 2 The figure 4,62o m. on P1. 10 is wrong. It should be 4,637 m.
