Suggestion for a side quest (Jade Regent)


Advice


I am GMing the long travel from Kalsgard to the Rimethirst Mountains, between modules 2 and 3 of Jade Regent.
I have made Ukshakka a more significant NPC than the one she is in the AP. Still, she is reluctant to make all the way to Tian Xia with the caravan because her father died trying to cross the Crown of the World: to succeed where her father failed would dishonor his memory (as stupid that might sound, that's what she feels).
So now I would like to find some reason to make her stay with the caravan, and with Ulf, until Ordu Aganhei. But, I'm pretty short on ideas. I need a plot device, an encounter, something with the Varki tribes in the steppes or some strange monster... A short side quest that should involve all the party, not just "Ukshakka goes to speak with the Varki shaman of that tribe who tells her that succeeding where her father did not is not dishonoring him".
I will be fishing for ideas but any suggestion is very welcome.
Sorry for my bad English.
