A trek to the Changthang plateau

Trekkers will start with the trek from Rumtse to reach Kyamar campsite at 5120 m.
The duration of this patch is approximately 5 hours and covers about 13kms.
Trekkers will be walking alongside the Chhaba Chu stream and come across green marshes and a view of the entire valley from three different sides.
The night will be spent under the starry sky in tents.

This day will involve passing through two high passes - Kyamar La Pass at 5120 m and Mandalchan La Pass at 5200 m.
The duration of trekking can go up to about 8 hours, covering approximately 15kms. The goal for the day would be to reach Tisaling at 5030 m where trekkers will camp overnight.
The final section of the ridge towards Tisaling will treat you with wildflowers spread across and prayer flags to add to the charm.

On this day, trekkers will gently ascend towards Shibuk La at 5280 m, moving towards the plains of Tso Kar Lake. Trekkers should expect a long descent here.
The night will be spent camping at Tso Kar campsite or Pongunagu at 4600 m. The time taken to reach the campsite will be approximately 6 hours, covering 15kms.
If lucky, trekkers will come across Changpas with their livestock which is a sight in itself. The brackish barren land changes its colors at different times of the day.

This day poses fewer challenges in terms of the ascent and the descent.
Trekkers will get to enjoy the long walks on the plains of Tso Kar, providing a very close look of the Tso Kar Lake. The goal is to reach Nuruchen at 4660 m.
The duration to reach Nuruchen is approximately 5-6 hours, covering 16kms.
Trekkers may look out for black necked cranes and Brahminy ducks as it is their breeding ground.

Trekkers will be passing through Horlam La Pass followed by an easy day of trekking.
We will then descend to Rachungkharu where trekkers will camp overnight. The duration to reach the campsite will be approximately 3-4 hours.
Trekkers will witness an increasing presence of the Changpas and Tibetan Wild Horses.

On this day, trekkers will again pass through two major passes - Kyamayuri La Pass at 5420 m and Gyamar La Pass at 5390 m.
The goal would be to reach Gyamalhoma campsite. Trekkers will witness a changing landscape as they approach a higher mountain range.
The time taken to reach the campsite is approximately 6 hours. Trekkers will have an exhilarating experience with river crossing as they dip their feet in deep and icy cold water.

This final day of the trek is the most spectacular of all. Trekkers will pass through the highest pass of the entire trek - the Yalung Nyau La Pass at 5440 m.
This is the most awaited pass of the trek as we start to see the majestic Tso Moriri Lake. After a long descent from the pass, trekkers will reach Karzok where they will camp overnight.
The approximate duration will be around 6 hours. Along with the best views of the entire trek, you will pass through rocky terrains and will eventually take you to the pastured land of Karzok Phu.
