SUMMARY:
The page records compass bearings, temperatures, and mean values alongside altitude calculations for Gorpo La, Sangha, and Donghar. Elevations are computed using factors such as 1.04–1.05 (e.g., 16933 × 1.05 = 17779', 16471 × 1.04 = 17129', 12716 × 1.05 = 13350'). Notes include temperatures around 50–58° and means near 50–54°.
