walking from Kibber to Tso Moriri

It takes six days to walk to Tso Moriri lake plus one more day along the lake to Karzok village where there's access back to civilization.
The first two and a half days it goes up, towards the Parang Pass, 5180 m. Then down and then along the river and some greenery and some stone desert.
Carole is very talkative so I develop a habit of walking with my own speed which is a bit faster than hers. Otherwise she's nice.
The scenery is magnificent, colorful rocks all around. Some birds, some wild asses, some marmots. Food is good.
Last day is spent just hanging around near the lake in Karzok.
