Highlights of the Trek |
|
Festival will take place at Tarboche on
the first day of trekking. This is the
most important festival of Mt Kailash,
celebrating the enlightenment of Buddha.
It takes place every year at full moon
of the fourth lunar month. A giant
flagpole is ritually taken down and the
prayer flags are changed for new ones.
After the flagpole is upright again, the
Tibetans try to tell the future by
watching its position. If the pole is
erected straight it will mean happiness
for all of Tibet.
Grade :
Challenging
These treks will involve some high
altitude activity and the occasional
pass-crossing with walks of up to 9
hours per day and altitudes not
exceeding 6000 meters. Be aware of the
physical and mental needs of this type
of trek. You will need to be fit and the
preparations for the moderate trek apply
here too. Level of fitness is unrelated
to altitude sickness and you cannot be
sure that you will not suffer some mild
symptoms. Slow and steady is the key to
enjoyment.
