He hired Tsetan’s car and took Daniel as a companion for escorting him upto Darchen. He seems a lover of adventure who is not at all afraid of taking risks. This is evident from his ascent to undertake a short cut through high mountain passes involving the risk of slipping on snowy roads.He is a keen observer of men and manners. He has a sharp eye for details. He describes the hilly people quite sensitively. He gives a graphic account of difficulties faced during ascent. His headache and loss of sleep are caused by the cold and high altitude. His observations about Lake Manasarovar and Hor reveal the difference between legend and reality. He dislikes dirt and shabbiness.He faces communication problems after Tsetan leaves and before he meets Norbu. However, he waits and takes correct decisions. He approves of Norbu’s practical suggestion to hire yaks to carry luggage and decides to perform Kora with him.
