Tarina to Woche Snowman Lunana Trek
Approx. 17km, 6-7 hours/ 275m ascent, 330m descent. The walk leads down through conifer forest, down the Pho Chhu river on the left, sometimes walking in it, passing some impressive waterfalls, cascading down both sides of the valley. The trail then climbs gently out of the valley, then steeply over a ridge and drops into side valley of Woche. Woche (3940m) is a small settlement and our first village of Lunana after Laya. We may see families all helping to thresh their crops of wheat or buckwheat in the fields with traditional rotating sticks. Our crew may decide to continue further; across the river and through dwarf rhododendron bushes to a lovely meadow camp near our next pass- Keche la pass.
