Title:

Chongu [Chhangu, Sikkim]. Photographer: White, John Claude

Scope & Content:

Genre: Landscape Photography

View looking down onto the lake, with buildings in the foreground; 'This small but beautiful lake is only twenty miles from Gang-tok, the Capital of Sikhim. It lies at the foot of Na-thö La [Natu La], at about 12,500 feet above sea level; it was here that the troubles and difficulties of those who crossed the Na-thö La began in the journey to Tibet, and it was here that they ended on the homeward march.' White here presumably is referring to altitude sickness. Another copy (printed in platinum) at Photo 430/53 (12).
