Part IV

The frozen water was slowly melting.

What a gate way. Well we did not move through it.

In case of more water in the river one needs to take this high
route.

Else this route is best.

Less water less problem and more time for monkey business.

Kalon Chumik.

This place is Chongtash because of this big stone in the whole
of this
plain.

Lake just after Chongtash

The trail high
above Chongtash nala along the mountain side leading to Shyok river.

Crossing Shyok river not as simple as it seems.

Memorial to a brave one. The trail in the background is the
one we descended for reaching Shyok river from Murgo camp.

Up valley view from Saser
Brangsa.

Our horse train
reaching the Shyok river.

Did we come down
this slope. The climb towards snow covered Saser la.

Climb to the
Saser la brings back the smile.

Lake between the
two glaciers, as we move down the Saser la.

We came this
way.

The partially
frozen lake on our way back.

Not much has
changed here except some snow.

They also are
moving down as the winter sets in.

Looking towards
Mamostong glacier as we move down into the Tulumputi river valley.

Look at the

important.
