From the kharka on the way from Syala to Pung-gyen Gompa, I had a perfect view of the Shringi Himal (7187m). Shringi, also known as Chamar, is an ice sheathed mountain near the Tibetan border. Shringi was climbed for the first time on June 5, 1953 by Maurice Bishop and Nyamgal Sherpa on a four person New Zealand Expedition led by Athol Roberts. Shringi South to the right is only 4m lower at 7183m.
