2. Ganden monastery to Samye monastery trek
3. Mount Kailash trek
4. Tsurphu Monastery to Yangpachen trek
Below Tibet Travelers will share a few more details about these top 4 trekking in Tibet.
1. Gama Valley Trek / Kangshung Face Trek / Kharta Trek
Located around 60-70km from my hometown Tashizom towards the south, there is one of the most beautiful and number one treks in Tibet. Still known as one of the hidden beauties in Tibet.
Locals around my hometown call this area Kharta. A small town that lies at the border of Nepal.
Duration of the Trek
Duration of the trek is 9- 12 Days as 2 options but overall including the days in Lhasa and other places in Tibet, total around 18-20 Days.
Highlights of the Trek
The main highlight of the trek is the East Kangshung Face of Mount Everest from Pethang Ringmo. Few other highlights are Glaciers, Mount Makalu, Mount Jomo Langtso, Mount Lhotse.
Difficulty
They are 2 passes on this trek, Shao La ( 4970M) and another Lang ma La (5400M), This is considered as a medium trek since Yaks and Yak man will help to carry the goods. Cook and Good Trekking Guide, someone from my hometown or nearby Tingri region will be the best for this trek.
Price
Now everywhere in our world is developing including Tibet, where ever it is possible to travel, they are mostly many tourists. From my experience, this is the only area that is still remaining in a pure beautiful hidden nature. The road from my village Tashizom to Kharta is not good. The duration of the Tour in total is around 18-20 days. Cook, Yaks, and Yak man are needed so this is one of the most expensive trekking routes in Tibet and this is one of the only places to witness truly hidden beauties.
