Text Appearing Before Image: of small game, duck on theriver, and hares, small partridges, and silver pheasants onthe mountain side. To-day we made a longer march, travelling all the way upthe Yalung, to Deji Podrang. Rather more than half-waywe passed the confluence of the Yilung river (Yi Chu) withthe Yalung, the former issuing out of a similar narrow cleftin the mountains. Further on the gorges open out into avalley. This place consists of an old fort, Deji Podrang, formerlythe seat of a Tibetan official under the Drango Chief, and aGelugba monastery called Sangdru, or Samdru, Gomba, lyingin a small cultivated plain. The Yalung valley from here up for several days march iscalled Tzako (Valley of the Tza). Except for the half-caste interpreters (Tungshth) practic-ally no Tibetans in the interior of Kam speak Chinese, andI was therefore surprised when a man, to all appearances aTibetan, came up to me on the flat roof of Deji Podrang and 1 Nunneries, called Am Gomba in Tibetan, are not uncommon in Kam.
