AROUND KANGCHENJUNGA (25 Days)
This trek, without technical
difficulty is however of a great geographical and cultural diversity.
At the beginning, they are mainly villages Raï and Limbu which we
meet. Ignored, these ethnos groups are traditionally very close to
Gurung of the center of Nepal, and are also with dominant Buddhist.
We pass from many suspended bridges, have sights on Makalu (8463m)
and let us penetrate with the wire of
Chörtens and Gompas (monasteries) in world Tibetan (taken refuge):
pines of the Himalayas, yaks… We reach
he desert one with sights on the
glacier of Rantang and tops as ignored as impressive: Salfury,
Rambuck, Sobithag and Khabur (all between 6 and 7000m). We pass then
3 pass of 4700,4800,4900m and
let us go down again of with dimensions of Yalung with one strolls
with the glacier. Then we cross forests of rhododendrons, magniolias
and bamboos; we pass also caravans of goats (rice, flour).
Important!
because
of the problems of flight
Katmandu-Suketar,
we organize this
circuit only for groups of ten people in order to block a vol.
Because of the climatic conditions, it is good also to envisage
several plugs days moreover.
