After
losing two days to rain and a bad stomach, our plans now must be
somewhat adjusted. Today the weather, as well as my stomach are better,
so we start directly from our nice gusthouse Lehling. |
First
we walk towards Shanti Stupa, but then turn north. The summit
is visible in the middle of this picture. |

|
Tisseru
Stupa, more than a thousand years old. |
There is a side valley to the left (north
west), leading up towards the high
passes to Phyang. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
At 3770m you turn left again, following the
path up to a pass. |
According
to my altimeter the pass is at 3970m. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
From
here you follow the path to the left, leading to to the summit. |
Stok
Kangri (6120m) seen from about 4000m altitude. I want to emphasize that
this picture is not processed and changed. The colors were this deep
and the visibility almost unlimited. |

Mountains to the north. |
