"first at all Chinese features but rather good looking with large eyes & small saub nose & red cheeks - a very few Tibetan women are now dressed in short boots with whiteish red blue in their clothing & rain shower visited most the afternoon & evenings. We used camp on above Morani a group of rocks on a bluff above the river. The people in this valley are numerous every bit of land being cultivated & villages many. They do not however make use of the wide deep river for navigation or transport every thing here is carried on the backs of man or women or beasts. Everyone is seen with a towel strapped to that back by apron and a strap a forehead.
