Alcesti de Righi Diary Entry Wednesday, 16 August 1905
The morning of the 16th breaks very stormy, and with heavy rain we decide not to start, and take a day's rest, which is only broken by the excitement caused by the arrival of a messenger from the Deputy Commissioner, announcing that the Nepaul Durbar has graciously permitted our entering Nepaul and making a base camp at Tseram under certain conditions. This news is received with great joy, as it does away with the alternative of the Zeum gap which I have already written about. To-morrow, wet or fine, we start for Gamnthang. It will be a hard march, as we must cross Oma Pass 15,000. The dâk is soon leaving, so must say au revoir till we reach Tseram.
