You will pass a couple of teahouses at Tado Dunga, and from here the path gets more extreme.
It’s still 2 hours moving to the pass, and if there happens to be snow it will take somewhat more. Regularly, this current day's trip takes 5-6 hours.

You have stunning perspectives ahead into Tibet and back towards Yari far beneath.
On the opposite side of the pass, it would seem that you are in Tibet. You are encircled by desolate mountains in tones of earthy colored, coppers, debris and dim yellows. From the pass, it's a long plunge to Hilsa, near the outskirts of Tibet.
