Tibet Trek - Qomolangma Nature Preserve

the landcruiser short cut between Ronmuk & Lao Tingri and you will see vehicles traveling
up and down.
Lao Tingri - Cho Oyo Base Camp

this trek follows the route from lao Tingri to Rombuk, before turning slightly west to cross the
Pozer la (5300m).
Allow time here for a day hike to just below the icefalls of Jobo Rabtsang - views of Cho Oyo, Jobo
Rabtsang and Kyetrek glacier are impressive.
There are a number of treks possible in this area. Easy-Moderate - Tough |
