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.
