Hookeri is thicker here in camp than anywhere I have seen it except at Tsari. The name of the Black Mountain is Dungshinggang. The meaning according to Punso is the Dungshing = Abies, fir and Gang = Range. The locals say there is a god of the mountain, called Dungshing. Just over a ridge from camp here is the place this god is supposed to be, and the locals have built a small house for him there. They go to worship there often. A few Brahminy Duck came down here, and I saw quite a number of Grandala coelicolor. Some blood pheasant seen in the distance.

I took several photos before they were clear and more afterwards. The bearing from camp at Wangchelakh to the left hand peak was 165° Mag. They say that is the highest of the three, though there does not seem to be much in it. All three are pretty deep in snow. The path follows the little nala down, keeping to the left bank, almost due South, then at m 1 turns East (always due E) and

L. p 23. Burning of Selinda, very

evening could see a dozen fires raging
in different directions. Sad to
think of the destruction to the forests
it ensures.
