Overview
The Kharta Valley Trek is a challenging yet rewarding; the journey will lead you through miles of steep valleys, high passes, and gorgeous glacial lakes. Trekkers witness some of the most spectacular Himalayan scenery on the earth. The highlight of the trip for many is the remote Kangshung valley, often referred to as the valley of flowers. Lingam La at the height of 5320 meters is the highest point encountered on this amazing trek.
The view from this point on a clear day is unparalleled in its beauty. Dozens of vast snow peaks are visible including Makalu, Lhotse Shar, Lhotse and Mount Everest towards the south. We visit the Everest base camp on our way back to Lhasa.
