Scope and content
SUMMARY:
Cites Ludlow noting the Nyala La is just under 17,000 feet and describes its position on the watershed between the Manas and Subansiri. Observations include gazelle and Ovis ammon on the pass, a hazy view of a southeastern range with a peak possibly Takpa Shiri, and very dry, barren country to the east.
CONTENT:
Ludlow p. 56. . . . . The top of the Nyala La is only a few feet short of 17,000.
The range in which the Nyala La is situated is the watershed between the Manas and Subansiri. The day was hazy but we could see another range to the SE and a peak which might, or might not, have been Takpa Shiri. On top of the pass we saw lots of Gazelle and Ovis ammon.
The country eastward from the Nyala La was very dry and barren.
