(5410 m); this pass is challenging in nature, but the magnificent view from the
top makes it well worth all our strenuous efforts. From the pass we descend
gradually to the valley towards our campsite at Gyamar Barma (5150 m). Due
to the campsite's high altitude, bad weather can make night temperature
freezing.
Day 25:
-
When we open our eyes in the morning, we wi l l find
ourselves amidst a herd of grazing yaks. After breakfast, we
head to our next pass, Kartse La (5300 m). Ascending slowly
in the thin air of the plateau, we will eventually reach
the pass. The trail leads gradually down to the lush green valley of the
Gyamar, where we spend our night.
Day 26:
-
Today, we gradually ascend towards the highest and final
pass on the trek. Following the narrow valley until the Yalung
Nyaulung La (5450 m), we will see some of the rare flowers
and herbs of the Himalayan region. The fragrances
will astonish you! To our right we can view snowcapped mountains and from
the top of the pass we will also have a view of the lake Tsomoriri, surrounded
by snowcapped mountains. We descend steeply for a couple of hours to the
Korzok Phu, the summer pasture of the Korzok people. From the pasture, we
continue to the Korzok (Tsomoriri lake), the destination of our adventure.
Day 27:
-
We drive back to Leh along the gorges of the mighty Indus
with all these good memories in mind, leaving behind the
beautiful lake Tsomoriri.
