Day 11
Visit of the Lingshed Monastery
After a long, gradual climb to the first pass, the Margum La (4,100 m), you reach the village of Lingshed in the heart of a mineral landscape. You explore its splendid monastery and discover the meditation room where the monks gather every morning. It is possible to meet Amchi, a local healer who uses medicinal plants. Passed on from generation to generation, the practice of this traditional medicine dates back more than 2500 years. You continue on your way, crossing a small pass, Chapskang La (4,200m) to arrive at the camp established at the foot of Hanuma Pass La at the confluence of two rivers.
Camp at 3,840 metres / 8h walk
