[Geo-location thread]

@HiddenRoots6 and I point to various locations in this video of PLA's highest observation post at 5592 m in the Naku La sector, Gamba County in Shigatse.

Shoutout to @1n_mts_v_trust for the video lead. Read on....
We start our first visuals from possibly the large base with trenches, bunkers, armoured vehicles and much more: 28° 9'20.02"N, 88°36'26.46"E

Next on, is the a storage depot hut of sorts at 5370 meters at the northern end of Naku La. Inside are equipment, arms, a large hall with a gathering area.

This was established early 2020 and acts as a base to the 5592m observation post.

28°4'11.64"N, 88°29'16.91"E
Here are patrols on a glacial lake at 28° 3'22.43"N, 88°30'56.08"E. This seems like a photo-op since there's not much of interest here. Up ahead is the 6800m peak Chomo Yumo looming high.
Patrols looking up to Chomo Yumo peak (6800m). A scene shows them sliding on the glacial blocks here. No camps here of significance.
The road leading from the base of Gamba county passing the Black Depot and onwards to the observation post. Chomo Yumo is visible to the left with the lake at the base of it.
The patrols now reach the top of the plateau overlooking Naku La, where the road ends. There are 2 small stone posts visible here on the top some distance from each other, possibly connected by these tunnels.

28°3'23.03"N, 88°29'21.61"E
28°3'16.31"N, 88°29'50.36"E: 5592m post
View into Indian territory across the Naku La from the 5592m post. The confrontation that happened at Naku La early last year was right after this post was established.
The video ends with an aerial view from the 5592m plateau looking across the northern chain of the Himalaya along westwards.
