THE ROAD FROM TSUMTUL-PU-GOMPA. 379
solid, well-built monastery of the same kind as the others around the Kailas. The best place for the night is on its roof. In the temple hall there is a pair of elephant tusks, just as in Nyandi-gompa. There are four lamas subject to Tai-chenlabrang.
The last day of the excursion, September 5th, took us i 7.6 km. W. S. W. from 4,863 m. to 4,629 m. at Khaleb, a descent of 234 m. or as I :75, though the fall is not regular, as we made a short visit to Tarchen-labrang.
The road down from Tsumtul j5u-gonna is very rich in manis. The descent is gradual and comfortable, the road good, and situated on the top of the right
terrace. The river of Doj5chen-chu is considerable; as a rule it is streaming in one bed, sometimes in two or three branches. From the right a comparatively large tributary enters ; at the right side of its mouth the strata are very folded. On both sides of the main valley mighty peaks are rising, being the last sharp-edged ramifications, below which the forms become more moderate and rounded, until the last hills finally merge into the plain north of the Rakas-tal. The lake itself is visible, shining blue with the brilliant Gurla-mandata to the south.
At one place where the river is pressed together in a very narrow gorge, we
have to pass on the slopes above the valley. Here the round blocks of several cubic meters in size, are generally granite. The living rock is dark dense limestone dipping 44° N. 20° W., and crossed by numerous veins of calcspar. The river is foaming and boiling between perpendicular rocks. Weathered granite, sandstone and conglomerate are also to be found. The next specimen of rock is dolomitic and magnesitic weathering-products dipping 36° W. Grey magnesitic mass stands in a narrow belt vertically from N. 47° W. to S. 47° E. Then follows brownish magnesitic mass and greyish green sandstone-conglomerate dipping 71° S. i o° W. Reddish brown limestone and dark-green serpentine, in 85° S. I 5° W., were standing at a cairn on the right side of the valley. A large part of the débris in the valley consists of green serpentine. A short distance below the cairn there is white quartz.
The Dojchen-chu, after leaving the mountains, seems to cross the plain to the
S. 29° W. and is certainly identical with the brook of Parka, or the branches we crossed just west of Parka. The Kailas is not at all in sight. Several manis are passed. On the left side of the river were two nomad-tents and flocks of sheep. At a place in the very mouth of the valley where two big manis were built, the altitude is 4,689 m. Below this place there are still several manis, which indicate the neighbourhood of the sacred Kang-rin j5oche and its temples.
Our road now turns to the N. W., crossing the last slopes from the Kailas group. The road is excellent. To our left is the extended plain, and in the distance Parka is just visible. Below our road there is a good deal of bush vegetation. From the right or north a valley comes out with a little brook. A mani along the road
