DAY: 20    Leaving the camp beneath Cho La we climb a small pass and descend the the trail westward, to the Ngozumpa glacier which flows down from the southern slopes of Cho Oyu.  The passage across this enormous glacier takes about one hour and we come out near the village of Gokyo.  Our camp will be in a high alpine meadow next to one of the turqouise lakes of Gokyo, Taujun Tsho.
