\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Small trail passes through these vast plains and equally big nalas. Our luck they were all dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The valley is getting narrower, the glacier is moving down and the weather is getting bad.
The camping place is still 3 hrs away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the narrow valley the water was snaking its way down. The trail crossed the river and climbed up the slope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our Camp IV -Kharsa Gongma , was on the opposite side of the Pare chu , where the sun has just reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The snout of the glacier from where the Pare chu begins its journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Slowly we climbed up the scree slope over a zigzag trail and reached the plateau of the Prang glacier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wind was flowing full force and sleet falling with equal speed made our movement up towards the pass difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Horses had to be pulled and pushed up this ice slope, just below the pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

View left (east) of Parang la as we reached it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

View right (west) of Parang la which is marked by some cairns and prayer flags flapping violently in strong wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The trail down into Himachal was initially over this type of terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After the Borogen camping ground the trail moves towards the Parilungbi river  gorge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yes – we have to reach the Parilungbi river , then walk in the gorge and then again climb out to reach the camping ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Camp V at Thantak (4800 m) , but where is the water.
Only a small tickle of water was flowing from the mountain side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shilla peak (6132 m) seen from Camp V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

View of first fields in the Spiti valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Dumla village which is occupied only during summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First view of Kibber village as we moved down from our Camp V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kibber village on the far center slope and the trail moving down into the gorge, before it climbs up to the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Houses of Kibber village as we approach it, majority of the village is on the other side of the slope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kibber village (4205 m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ladakh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Donkeys helping in carrying Tsampa as preparations for the in coming winter are in progress.
Kibber has more donkeys than humans and it has no dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
