Day 13:

The route continues to follow the river, rising gradually to
Choejong village (the biggest village in Lunana) where we
stop for lunch. After lunch, we visit the village temple, then
walk for some time through a sandy area till
meeting the river, which we cross by a suspension bridge. Soon we reach our
campsite at Thanza (4,000m), the second biggest village in Lunana.
Day 14:
A welcome day of leisure, for reading, catching up with the
washing, or just strolling around. If you are feeling really
energetic, you can climb up to the ridge for yet another
splendid view of the mountains.
Day 15:
-
Today'\s trek starts with a climb up to the ridge, from where
there is a great view of Table Mountain and Thanza valley
below. We cross the ridge, and enter a small valley with a
stream running through it. WE follow the stream up
the valley, enjoying the view of snow capped mountains and have lunch near
the bridge. WE then climb up out of the valley, crossing some small ridges, to
reach our campsite at Tshorim (5,125m).
Day 16:
-
Today'\s trek is one of the highlights of the trip. The day starts
with a short climb up to the Tashorim Lake. We walk around
the side of the lake, enjoying the panoramic view of Gophula
ranges. The final stretch Gupho-la pass
(5,230m) is very short. After crossing the pass, we descend to the base
camp, walking along the ridge and enjoying a great view of Gangkar
Puensum. According to choice, you can detour left and climb up a pyramid
shaped peak for a better view, or you can go directly to base camp (4,970m)
near the Sha Chu, where we will set up the camp.
