Scope and content
SUMMARY:
Travelled toward Taktsa through a valley with dense poplar, willow, and Hippophae, noting parrots near Kyimdong Dzong and ruins of an old Dzong above Palung. The north-facing slopes carried fir, larch, and spruce, and the valley seemed rich in flowers and birds though there was no time to collect. On July 19, there was a halt at Taktsa due to diseased natives.
CONTENT:
July 18. L. To Taktsa. p. 122-123
The valley as far as Palung was filled with dense tree and shrub growth, the trees being poplar, willow and a few Hippophae. Saw parrots for the first 3 miles out of Kyimdong Dzong—in flocks of a dozen or more. At Palung are the ruins of a fine old Dzong perched on the hillside above the village. Apparently this area was independent of Tibet many years ago. These old ruins were the headquarters of the ruling family. Slopes facing north clothed with fir, larch, spruce forest. This valley is a very pretty one and I should think holds a lot of interesting flowers and birds, but we have had no time to look for them.
