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.
