On September 12th we recrossed the Marmichla Pass, and right glad we 
were to get down to 13,500 feet, where one felt more like oneself after such 
a long spell of rarefied air and high altitudes. The nights also became warm,

on September 17th, which by the way we found very bad going, we reached 
Len on the 19th, receiving a hearty welcome from all our friends. 
Our bag consisted of 7 Yak, 27 Antelope, and 2 Burrhel. To anyone who 
may follow in our footsteps let mesay one word. The game is worth

lungs would never stand the high altitude and the biting wind of Horpu Cho 
and its surroundings,
