Everest Kangshung Face Trek

$6,290.00

The Kangshung face trek is uniquely surreal because of its beauty and desolation. This trek to Kangshung base camp follows the road less traveled. Before the trek begins, an introductory tour is given in Lhasa, and continues to Zhangmu. The tour covers rich and historical sites such as the Potala and Norbulingka Palaces, a traditional hospital, an outdoor bazaar, Sera, and Drepung Monasteries, and Jokhang Temple.
The trek begins when the tour reaches Kharta. From Kharta, the trail follows the Kharta River and provides amazing views of local villages and terraced fields. After a while the trail turns into rhododendron, and conifer forests. Soon though the forests give way to moraines and the trail continues to Jorpokhari Lake. The next day of the trek provides mesmerizing views of the Himalayas including Mt. Everest, Mt. Cho Oyu, Mt. Makalu and others. The trail continues to bob in and out of forests and until it reaches Kangshun Base Camp. The trail wraps around, passing yak camps, alpine meadows, and rocky outcrops till it reaches North Base Camp. As the trek comes to an end, the tour begins again with a tour to Ronbuk Monastery then back to Lhasa.
