On the trekking route between Rumtek and Stok our little team (6 participants, 2 guides, 2 cooks, two horsemen, horses, mules and one donkey) camped at the foot of some beautiful colored mountains. We arrived early, so I had some time to climb a minor peak in the vicinity. On the next morning we went up the steep ascend to Stok La.
The Transhimalayas are a very dry region north of the Himalayan main range, but very rich in minerals. And the local pack animals still find enough grass on the slopes to feed on.
