Itinerary description
|
Short stage, almost 500m are saved in less than 8 km but it is bearable despite being already more than 3000 m.
Just at this point you have to pass one of the military checkpoints of the route, China is very close.
Once in Kyanjin and installed in the Panorama, bath with private solar shower and all, acclimatization walk in search of the glaciers that come down from the Langtang Lirung (http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id = 8372991) the road is simple and reaches the bottom of the valley, yes there are several paths on both sides of the river that have the look of leading to the same site, but this we do not check for lack of time. In the end the alternative to climb the Kyangin Ri was fine, although from above obviously the view had to be better ... but it was the first day at that height.
In Kyangin several 'bakerys' for the larpeiros, good cakes, chocolate especially, in the first there is entering the village on the left.
The night temperatures did not rise between 5 and 10 below zero for sure ... in the morning in the room the water in the bottles remained liquid, but the containers on the outside had more than one finger of ice.
