This side a thick mist, the other. On the way up saw some gentians coming on, but not open. Also the little white primula we got first between Tama La and Tahtsang (mucronata? 2194). On the other, there is a really fine yellow primula, with enormous flowers 2370. I measured some flowers at 1 5/8" across. They have a darker, orange-yellow centre. We also got more of the minute blue primula 2350, which is very pretty indeed seen in masses.

Gentians abounded, but hardly one fully open, which is no wonder. The finest is 2357 with a very big flower.

Why, I cannot imagine. However he came back and whispered the names later, at the same time asking me not to say he had told me, when we returned to Mago. Leaving camp, there is a stiff climb of 500 ft up the nala bed. Then a more or less horizontal yak path is met and followed south. It is quite good and perfectly easy, gradually climbing to the DEBONG LA in 2 (Approx 14,500'). Thence down to BULUNG, a place used by yak herds on occasion. There is an empty hut here, and a small lake, quite a good camping site. (in 3 1/2). Beyond this the path again climbs fairly steeply to the CHIGUP LA, (same approx height). Descent easy over open grassland to a small plain called CHIGUP NAGA, where there
