SUMMARY:
Notes a method to store green seeds using a CO2-filled soda syphon bottle and describes dramatic cliffed terrain with poor flowering. Describes friendly local yak herders resembling Takpas and details the path along the Tulung Chu with numerous river crossings to Dyuri (opposite Nyuri), correcting the map location of very hot springs to the left bank above Dyuri.
