Question

We took a short cut to get off the Changtang. Tsetan knew
route that would take us south-west, almost directly towards
Mount Kailash. It involved crossing several fairly high mountain
passes, he said. “But no problem, sir", he assured us, "if there
is no snow." What was the likelihood of that I asked. "Not
knowing, sir, until we get there."
From the gently rolling hills of Ravu, the short cut took us
across vast open plains with nothing in them except a few gazelles​
