Itinerary description

August 2016 trekking. We followed a 12 day itinerary, allowing all 6 of us for a perfect acclimatization:

Day 0: Shang Sumdo camp arrival
Day 1: Shang Sumdo - Chuskurmo
Day 2: Chuskurmo - campsite below Kongmaru La
Day 3: campsite - Kongmaru La - Thachungtse
Day 4: Thachungtse - Markha
Day 5: Markha - Skiu
Day 6: Skiu - Shingo
Day 7: Shingo - Ganda La - Rumbak
Day 8: Rumbak - Stok La - Mankarmo
Day 9: Mankarmo - Stok Kangri BC
Day 10: Stok Kangri summit day (starting at 1.30 am, about 6h ascent + 3h descent)
Day 11: Stok Kangri BC - Stok

* Note: the elevation profile from Stok Kangri summit to the basecamp contains errors. This is due to loss of battery in my GPS device, I manually reconstructed the descent track (actually, the same used for ascent).
