The next day's march, September 11th, took us 16.5 km. N. E. across the
secondary pass of Jekung-la, 5,294 m. high, to the first class pass of Lamo-latse-la,
5,426 m. high, and situated on the continental water-parting of the Transhimalaya.
The rise to the pass was 261 m., or as 1:63. From the pass to Camp CCXXXVII,
the distance was 3.7 km. and the descent 250 m. or as 1:15. It was thus an
exception from the morphological rule, according to which the northern slope, as
a rule, has a more gradual gradient than the one to the south. Lamo-lachen-la is
on the water-parting between the Indian Ocean and the Chang-tang plateau-land
without outlet to the sea.
On Pan. 327, Tab. 59, taken from Jekung-la we see to the N. 60° E. the
Lamo-latse-la on our road, the valley of the Bokar-tsangpo to the S. 61° E.,
a peak Yama-koto to the south, and to the S. S. W. two passes Dopchen-la and
Hle-la, probably situated in the same range as the Tseti-lachen-la. From Lamo-
latse-la Pan. 328, Tab. 59, was drawn to the west, and Pan. 329, Tab. 59, to the
east. The Kailas is in sight from none of these passes.
On September 12th, we travelled 19.5 km. E. N. E. and N. E. to Camp CCXXXVIII,
Dam-tärngo, at an altitude of 4,991 m., or a descent of 185 m. at a rate of 1:105.
From a point 7 km. N. 70° E. of Camp CCXXXVII Pan. 331, Tab. 59, was drawn
to the N. E. and Pan. 332, Tab. 59, to the S. W. Pan. 330A and B, Tab. 59, is from Dam-
tärngo and shows a region of flat mountains all around without any prominent peaks.
From Camp CCXXXVIII our road goes N. E. for 8.3 km. to the pass,
Dam-karchen-la, 5,099 m. high, being an ascent of 108 m. or 1:77. From the
pass we had 13 km. to Camp CCXXXIX, Gyamboche, at 4,804 m., or a descent
of 295 m., at a rate of 1:44. Pan. 333, Tab. 59, is taken from a little threshold
E. N. E. from Camp CCXXXVIII, giving a view to the S. W., and to the
S. 56° W. Lamo-latse-la is visible. Pan. 334, Tab. 60, is taken from the same
point, and gives a view of distant ridges to the N. N. E. Pan. 335, Tab. 60,
is from a point between Dam-karchen-la and Tsalam-ngopta-la; it shows distant
mountains to the W. S. W., west and W. N. W., which probably belong to still
unknown ranges of the Transhimalaya, running N. W.—S. E. Pan. 336, Tab. 60,
is taken from Tsalam-ngopta-la to the north and N. N. E. and gives a good view
of the plateau-land with its comparatively low ridges and flat depressions.
On September 14th, we travelled 20.1 km. N. N. E. and N. E. to Camp CCXL
at an altitude of 4,624 m., or a descent of 180 m. and at a rate of 1:112. The
panorama taken from this camp, 339, Tab. 60, represents a comparatively low range
to the north of the basin of Mugu-telep with its shallow salt pools.
The last march of this section across the Transhimalaya, on September 15th,
took us east and E. N. E. for 10.5 km. to Camp CCXLI, Gyakung, at an altitude
of 4,802 m., the ascent thus being 178 m. and the rate 1:59.
