day's road goes north and N.E. to the mouth of a valley called Tokdung; its source
is said to be only one day's journey west of Dangra-yum-tso; the valley is narrow
and contains running water only after rain. The valley opens to the lake where it
is narrowest; the shore here is flat, and the region is called Sonyak. The third day
the road goes north, turns round the northern end of the lake and proceeds S.E. to
Ombo, a village of 5 or 6 stone huts, and, as some informants asserted, with some
cultivation of barley. This road only crosses a few very small brooks from springs;
there is a fairly broad strip of level land between the lake and the nearest mount-
ains to the west. The fourth day's road makes a sharp turn to the east and goes
on to Leden, situated opposite Tokdung at the narrow part of the lake; at the north
and N.E. shore there is a plain, not very broad; but at the eastern shore down to
Leden the mountains approach the very edge of the lake, and seem to fall rather
steep into the Dangra-yum-tso; it is not necessary, however, to cross a single
pass, the road runs quite along the water; at the middle of the eastern shore there
seem to be considerable mountains. The fifth day's march returns to the starting
point on the Targo-tsangpo. There are said to be no brooks, nor even any ravines
on this section of the road, and the country to the east is low and level; but half-
way between this lake and Ngangtse-tso there is said to be a pass, Tsug-la.
From Sabuk, Camp 154, South of Shuru-tso, a road goes northwards, which
is chiefly used by salt-caravans. From Sabuk it is four days to Parung-la or Ba-
rong-la, thence two or three days to the small twin-lakes Mun-tso, and thence 6 days
to Teri-nam-tso. This road leaves the Mun-tso to its right and the Teri-nam-tso to
its left and continues north. Other informants told me the two Mun-tso, quite close
to each other, were situated N.E. of Teri-nam-tso in a district called Namru. The
distance between Dangra-yum-tso and Teri-nam-tso was said to be 5 or 6 days,
which must be rather short marches. Between these two lakes there are no high
mountains but only low ridges and rolling hills; but between Dangra-yum-tso and
Mun-tso there is a comparatively high range crossed in a pass called Hlang-la. From
Teta-la on the Teri-nam-tso one sees a world of mountains to the east, but none
to be compared with the Targo-gangri.
