"17 August 1938
Alternative route via Kemi La and Trongma.
Delightful open rolling hills with poor grazing and some hardy blue daisies. Saw burrhel and 2 Kiang (red, pie-bald).
Kala Tso very dry and strip of hard salty mud on S-E side average width 1 mile and at least 5 miles long make good landing ground.
Kalashar about 700 acres under cultivation. Water 1,000,000 galls/hr in stream between dak bungalow and village.
Camping ground unlimited." [JD 26/01/2020]
