SUMMARY:
The party camps by warm small lakes near Dungshinggang, organizing searches for blood pheasant nests without success while noting the diarist’s recovery and the conditions of Tsongpen and Pintso. On 24 June they start early toward the Bl. Mountain, cross the Chuthangha, traverse steep hills in changeable weather, take bearings to Nabzi La and the Bl. Mt., but find little.
CONTENT:
essentially a high cliff ledge primula, growing among grass.
I am much better today, but still have a head and weak knees. Tsongpen started well, but was done by the time we reached camp. But I think he is improving slowly. Pintso seems alright. We are camped by a little lake, which is surrounded by land, is very warm for this height, the temp being 64° F. There are a lot of small lakes here. On the way up we had organized searches for blood pheasant's nests, but never found one, though we are pretty sure they were near us and had eggs. The locals say they breed later on Dungshinggang and that is certainly correct. None have their young out yet.

24th June. Halt. A lovely morning, fine till 12.0, then a heavy shower, and after 3.0 heavy rain the rest of the day. I decided on an early start, thinking we might even go to the top of the Bl. Mountain. So we left at 4.30 am, and got back at 2.30 pm. We crossed the Chuthangha, BP. 186.4° Temp 59° Time 1.30 pm, and then spent our time going up and down over the most awful steep hills. But we really found very little. From the La, the bearing to the Nabzi La is 320° M and to the highest pt. of the Bl. Mt. about 143° M.
