Ringmo village. The entrance station for the Shey Phoksumdo National Park is at the south end of the village. The route takes us ahead on switchbacks to an elevation of 3300 meter. We continue along the bumpy route, this time even aggravated by the dust along the trail, and climb up to a ridge approaching a 200 meter high water fall, the highest in Nepal. Advancing further, the route takes us to Ringmo village, a picturesque settlement of flat-roofed stone houses with lots of mani walls. Making a slight descent from Ringmo, we cross a bridge and continue trailing until we arrive at the stunning milieu of Phoksumdo Lake. Overnight in camp at the national park camping ground in Phoksumdo; breakfast, lunch and dinner included."

Day 14 - ExcursionNew Yorkers and visitors are urged to comply with the state's regulations, which restrict the major vector for the introduction of these pests."

The revised regulation focuses enforcement on untreated firewood that is in transit, and any firewood possessed on state lands. The revisions also articulate DEC's authority to confiscate and destroy non-compliant firewood under the Environmental Conservation Law.

The updated definition of "firewood" now specifically excludes logs being moved to manufacturing facilities for processing (sawmills, pulp and paper mills, biomass power plants, etc.) from regulation as "firewood," as this regulation is intended to regulate firewood specifically.

Other regulations exist for log transport, which are enforced by state Department of Agriculture and Markets, including transport restrictions from the 20 counties in New York that are under state and federal emerald ash
