Village of Chander, about 2 hours up by
jeep road from Dirang. Good jeep road ends here. The road up actually
starts about 5 km before old Dirang from the main Bomdila-Dirang-Tawang
road.

The place where our jeep ended (Tata Sumo
with not good tyres), about 2hrs of walking before Larjab.

The place where our jeep
ended and we caught first leeches. |

Shelter at the place where the path from

Chander).

Just after Poshing La pass,
first view of distant Gorichen mountain, on the border with China. |
Gorichen mountain, about 6500m. Untill
2009 probably climbed only once or twice by Indian Army, no foreigners.
One of the goals of our trek was to try this access path, that avoids
the village of Mago from west, where Indian army is stationed. Although
Indian army in Mago was OK, with our general Arunachal Pradesh permit
(stating Bomdila, Tawang etc...), it might be possibly different with
different commander there.
