Kates Playground Stream Iphone

Sarchu Plains - beginning Gata Loops

38km / 395m + / - 953m from altimeter, but not as altitude = altitude arrival then departure ascent = gradient negative (I had to make a mistake in noting or calculate).

Stage set for short rest before tackling the major passes. Purpose of the day: get as close to the lens of tomorrow (The nake).
Km 8: Sarchu Dabh, a little dirty
min after Sarchu nice and pretty good on the whole road. Owls landscape once again.

approximately Km 33: camping spot potential (paths are not up close) on the right above the road Km 34
: Start Gata Loops, gradual climb switchbacks, tar
Km 38: camping spot on the right (alt 4387m), rock shelters, but still quite windy. Very nice but bring water.

The Irish + Indians are one day to rest before long Sarchu step Pang. The American is suffering from acute mountain sickness and should start on Keylong. We are pleased to have chosen the night before camping in the Plains because Sarchu is a bit ugly. Good breakfast and noon to Sarchu full of water because anything before Pang a priori. (Eventually we will give wrong). Tar Day! Camping in the Gata Loops really top.
