Rodophu to Narethang
Trek from Rodophu to Narethang (Snowman)
Approx. 17km, 5-6 hours/ 720m ascent. We need to cross the river this morning and ascend the slope of dwarf rhododendron directly opposite, and once this is achieved, trek on through another small valley of alpine pastures to a small pass; Tsomo La (4780m). We descend and traverse around some slopes to be rewarded with a line of snowy peaks, including Gangla Karchaung (6395m) the highest. Our camp is on grassy slope, grazed by the Layap yak. It is beneath the peak of Gangla Karchung at an attitude of 4900m.
