March 2004
 


  






We go up in the himalaya in the border state with the Tibet,
the Sikkim.
Unfortunately, we need a lot of autorisations
to go further near very hight mountains.







first stop : Tsongo Lake at 3700m high in the fog !!!
  
going near the boudhism land, the number of pray flags is increasing...
  

  
A Yak trek is compulsory for Pollux and Titus...




Yumthang valley : 3780 m






the Tibet is at 10 kilometers, we must stop here.



    


Lachung , city for the nights : 2760 m

  our wakeup...

  

 Lachung monastery 

  


Another valley : Lachen




last valley accessible to the foreigners : 4053 m
with a "village"



We take a first tea in a stone house...

  

To get warm, we take another tea, but in a wood and paper house...
  

  

    

  
Every bridge are decorated with the pray flags.. perhaps to avoid them to crash.















Local supermarket, at 3800 m high.
