Pictures from our exploratory trek up the Masang Kang Valley. The last herders camp is called Phuem doh. Pictures and videos are from up the valley once we got closer to the mountain. We did a day hike towards Wakey La pass but was unsuccessful because the trail was buried in snow. From November 2022.
