This
trek requires some stamina but it is very worthwhile,
it is a spectacular walk along steep-sided valleys
and glacial lakes, and if the weather allows,
some of the grandest Himalayan scenery to be found.
In the summer, spectacular grassland flowers are
in bloom in the remote Kangshung valley, famed
as the valley of flower.
The
highest point on this trek is Langma La [5320
meters]. On a clear day the view south from Langma
La is outstanding. We see Makalu, which dwarfs
all the other peaks from this angle, including
Everest. The big trio at the far west end of the
Kangshung valley, from left to right, are Lhotse
Shar, Lhotse and Mount Everest. The valleys and
ridges below the snowline are richly covered with
grasses and thick vegetation nurtured by the monsoon
rains that manage to sneak behind these mountains.
On
our way to Lhasa from our trek, we visit the Everest
Base Camp, where the sheer grandeur of Everest's
north face you can only believed, when you see
it.
