| Tsurpu
to Yangpachen Trek (9 Night/10 Days)
The
Tsurphu to Yangpachen trek is an excellent choice for those who want to
get a close look at the Tibetan herders (drokpa) and their semi-nomadic
lifestyle. Although they have permanent winter homes they spend much of
the year camping with their animals.
Beginning
at Tsurphu Monastery this rugged walk crosses several alpine valleys before
emerging into the broad and windswept Yangpachen valley. This is a high
elevation trek exceeding 4400m for the entire duration and a maximum elevation
of 5300m at the Lasar-la. Combining alpine tundra and sweeping mountain
panoramas with visits to monasteries and a nunnery, this trek nicely balances
cultural and wilderness activities.
