unclear trail through pines and rhododendrons

forest until the track starts traversing at a Mani

wall with prayer flags. Finally, in the pine forest,

take an uphill trail and make a steep zigzag climb

through huge silver pines to reach Gumba

Lungdang (3200m), perched on a ridge with small

cells for the nuns through the beautiful

rhododendrons above. This small Gompa with about 50 nuns has an intense and engrossing Puja from 6.00 to 7.30pm

each night. There is no lodge or formal camping area but permission may be obtained to camp in the Gompa forecourt

through the forest. Cross the Laudang Khola to the

west bank on a shaky loge bridge and climb steeply

through pristine pines and rhododendrons on a

ridge. There is a hut in a Kharka about halfway up,

with the trail ongoing behind it, then up a birch-

lined dry creek bed and eventually you emerge into

grassy flats behind the lateral moraine of the Toro

Gompa glacier. Continue climbing past seasonal

yak huts and you will find a track on the moraine

wall that gives superb views of the picturesque of

mountains. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to get in the
