This trekking features rural landscapes, high mountain country, traversing glaciers, a non-technical ice-fall to negotiate, a high (5700 metres) pass (the Teshi Lapcha) to cross, and a wonderful sense of isolation, and optionally five days of playing at high altitude, including an ascent of Yalung Ri or Ramdun.
It’s a great trip for walkers who are confident with ice-axe and crampons, and for aspiring mountaineers. It has to be done as a camping trek: between Na and Thame cause there are no lodges.

Nangpa La, the highest point of trekking, is the pass on the ancient trading route that linked Tibet with Nepal. From here we explore the upper reaches of the valley before making an audacious crossing of a little-known high pass named Renjo La that leads to the Gokyo Valley
