Have an extra day in Kharta for acclimatization.

Day 09: Begin the trek
Follow the jeep trail along the Kharta River until we cross a substantial bridge and follow a well-defined trail that gradually winds above a series of small scattered settlements set amid bare fields. After about three km the trail splits. Take the upper trail ascending towards the Shao La (4, 970m/ 16, 300ft). Our trail leads us to the village of Lundrubling, where we set up camp for the night.

Day 10: Trek to Kaamo Tsangpo Valley
A steady and steep descent takes us along beautiful yak pastures before the path finally drops down towards the Kaamo Tsangpo Valley. We’ll set up camp in Joksam at 4,000 metres - an idyllic camp situated amid pine and fir forests just above the Kaamo Tsangpo Valley.

Day 11: Trek to Khangsung Valley
A steep 300 meter ascent through the conifer forest brings us to a ridgeline high above the Kama Tsangpo Valley, from where we can enjoy the magnificent views south towards the Arun Gorge and Nepal.

We’ll set up camp in one of the idyllic meadows.

The trek to Kangshung Face Base Camp 5,050 m can be completed in a couple of hours. The trail gradually ascends the grassy ridges to the snout of the Kangshung Glacier.
