CONTENT:
L. p 32. Gunkarah Gompa
Small monastery amongst some
cliffs just above the monastery.
Guru Rimpooche is supposed to have
halted whilst he was on his way
to Tibet.

L. p 23. Burning of Selinda, very
extensive. From camp this
evening could see a dozen fires raging
in different directions. Sad to
think of the destruction to the forests
it ensures.
