A beautiful day, we climbed up close to the snow line.

We reached the cairn at the Nyile La 4880 m. Fabulous views in all directions.

Lingshi Dzong on the far side of the valley. Our campsite was the other side of this. The Dzong had been quite severely damaged in the earthquake of 18th September '11 that was a 6.9 magnitude.


By the time we reached camp the weather was threatening again - this meant a possibility that we may have to go back 4 days the way we'd just come.
