A spectacular first day of trekking up a green valley crisscrossed with mountain streams. Be on the lookout for various species of mountain goats. Several small nomadic communities camp here for the summer herding months and one may step into a yak-hair tent for a cup of salt butter tea or some fresh yak milk!

From day one the scenery is breathtaking, classic Tibetan beauty. Overnight Camping.
Day 6 Leten / Bartso, trekking 5-6 hours, 15km
Cross the first small pass the Damchen Nyingtri, bear to the left at the cairns on the crest and descend into a magical valley of lichen-coated boulders, meandering streams and expansive, powder-blue sky. Three hours later, cross the Lasar La and descend into the Yangpachen valley, with its wide open plateaus, spiky grass hummocks and tundra-like parched, cracked patches of earth, and head towards Bartso. The views of "Brize" translated as female yak herder and "Tarze" horse keeper are superb and one will feel safe in the care of the local mountain god Nyenchen Tanglha. Camp near Bartso a "drokpa" nomad village of five or six houses surrounded by the juniper trees used for incense all over Tibet. Overnight Camping.
Day 7 Bartso / Dorje Ling Nunnery, Trekking 4 hours, 15Km
Leaving the village of Bartso behind, head towards a wide trail leading across the valley and over another ridge, from where one is rewarded with views of Nyenchen Tanghlha 7111m, the holiest mountain in central Tibet. Emerge at Tajung village, then climb gently up rolling hills where young nomadic boys and girls picnic on the plateaus keeping watch over their yaks and sheep. The vistas are again just amazing! Mid-day reach the small Djore Ling "Ani Gompa" nunnery near where camp will be set up. Its possible that these nuns, some of the friendliest in Tibet, will drag you into the gompas' tea-house and pass around a heaping plate of yak meat before getting into the requisite photo session.
