spirits were said to dwell on it; common people used to call it *Rinak-lamo*. *Gobrang*¹
signified the range or group of mountains east and N. E. of *Rinak-lamo*. *Ragok*²
is the principal valley from *Gobrang*. The name *Lungnak* used by Nain Sing was
seldom heard. Our informant at *Camp LXXVIII* had never heard the name
*Chupta*, he called that place *Mukho-dabrak-yung*. The ice-beds we had seen at
*Camp LXXVIII* joined in a watercourse which he called *Dongsang-chu*. *Naling-
shung-chu*³ was another watercourse in this region. Some days' journey to the south,
he knew of a large lake called *Teri-tso* which, of course, is the same as *Teri-nam-tso*.
From *Camp LXXX*, which he called *Shurang*, he reckoned 9 days on horse-
back to *Dagtse-tso*, which was the same name I had obtained in 1901. The shortest
road to this lake does not follow the river the whole way; its principal stages were:
*Teshen-rapka*, *Kamrek-la*, *Bolo-kakar*, *Hamo-tsang*, *Nya-naglong* and the lake.
A road along the river passes by *Teshen-rapka*, *Shüteri*, *Tsarap*, *Kevarung* and
a nameless place, to the lake. In both cases it would, therefore, be 6 and not 9 days,
the latter probably being our slow speed of travelling. From *Camp LXXX* he
knew three different roads to *Dangra-yum-tso*. The western-most one enters the
meridional valley that opens out just west of *Camp LXXX* and seems to run
south of Nain Sing's road. It is 8 marching days long, and passes over difficult
and accentuated ground with bad grazing, though nomads are to be found at most
places. Its stages are: *Loma-nyedo*, *Amla*, a little pass, *Chagar-dotsar*, *Chemo*, a
valley, *Chokchu*, a valley, *Shalung*, a valley, *Ngamngur*, a little lake, and finally,
*Dangra-yum-tso*. This road seems to reach the great lake at about the middle of
its western shore, or perhaps even somewhat farther south. The names given here
are reliable. *Ngamngur* is probably Nain Sing's *Ngangon Cho*. Of *Chokchu* I
heard later on at *Selipuk*, where I met a chief and a large caravan of pilgrims
from the district of *Chokchu*, which was said to be situated just west of the central
part of *Dangra-yum-tso*.
The second road to *Dongra-yum-tso* is obviously the same one as the one
taken by Nain Sing. It begins, as the first one, by the valley just west of our
camp, and then passes by *Kabu-kare* which is identical with the Pundit's *Gipu-
khárá*, *Kyang-tsauk*, *Kiro*, *Kilung-po*, identical with the Pundit's *Kilong Pass*, and
finally *Ombo* on the shore of *Dangra-yum-tso*, and obviously at the very N. W.
corner of the lake. Nain Sing's *Gara-Dong-kung* and *Thok Chigimila* were said
to be situated at a short distance N. E. of the road. Nain Sing's *Taksa Domsa* was
also quite correct and pronounced in the same way; it is the culminating snow-peak
of the mountain group which is partly visible on my panorama 90B, Tab. 15, to
