Itinerary description
|
A highly recommended route that combines the sporty, scenic and cultural aspect.
Today's route goes from Samdo to Dharmasala. It is the shortest stage. They are 6 kms and 670 meters of height to reach 4,480 meters high.
Some groups do not stop at this point and continue to Bimthang. This has the problem that some people consulted are long stage. We must add the problem that if you arrive late to Bimthang you will have no bed to sleep.
I advise if the weather is nice and there is no strong change forecast to stay overnight in Dharmasala.
In this place there is a stone construction with three rooms. Our guide Achut left early in the morning to reserve one. To be at 4,200 meters it is a correct site. At night the temperature drops but with a good sack there is no problem.
See the photos of the beds.
If these rooms are occupied, they must be installed in tents.
The stage is very beautiful. There are spectacular views all the way.

Yak Hotel
We have slept and dined in this beautiful place. They are still building it and it shows by the cold air currents that enter through the cracks in the windows
