On the other side of the three passes the route enters a valley filled with rhododendron forests, and descends often in the middle of a stream to a few buildings in a meadow below the pass called Dobato, taking 50 minutes from the third pass. The route traverses through huge rhododendrons, finally making a steep descent through a pine forest to the Mumbuk (3500m) camp site in another 45 minutes. Mumbuk is a small clearing place for camping in the middle of the woods of pines, hemlock, birch and rhododendrons. The overnight temperature was 5C with no rain.
