SUMMARY:
Notes describe the junction of two rivers near Luntse below Tang forming the Kuru Chu River and a long, impassable gorge cutting through the main Himalayan range. The writer remarks this prevents a direct outlet from Tibet to Bhutan without crossing a Himalayan pass. Ludlow reports only common birds observed, with nothing of particular interest.
CONTENT:
"Luntse" just below Tang is the junction of the 2 rivers which together form the Kuru Chu River. The junction lies in a magnificent gorge. This gorge continues for many miles below the junction forming a narrow & precipitous chasm piercing the main Himalayan range. No path traverses this gorge which is unfortunate as this would mean an outlet for Tibet to Bhutan without the obstacle of a pass across the Himalayan chain.
Ludlow - except for pigeons, magpies Choughs & an occasional bunting or willow warbler, we saw nothing of interest.
