Itinerary description
The trek from Yak Kharka to Thorong High Camp takes approximately 5 to 6 hours depending on how long you linger in Thorong High Camp Hotel which is just 45 minutes before reaching Thorong High Camp.
From the Hotel to the Camp the trek goes up very steeply. However, the facilities in the Hotel are far better than at the Camp, where there is no hot shower and electricity in the dorms.
While we opted to spend the night in the Camp to reduce the distance from Thorong La Pass, there is strong case for spending the night at the Hotel to enjoy more comfortable rooms and facilities.
