Description
Ninchin Kangsa (7206m) is a majestic mountain in Tibet, and the closest major Himalayan peak to the capital city of Lhasa. It lies between the Himalayas mountain range to the south, the Yamdrok Lake to the east and the Yarlun Tsangpo River to the north.
Join us on this 29-day climbing expedition to Ninchin Kangsa summit -also spelled Noijin Kangsang– and enjoy an unforgettable journey with many cultural highlights in this amazing land.
We will meet in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, and on the third day we will arrive to Tibet. Before heading to Ninchin Kangsa base camp, we will visit the interesting and historical cities of Gyantse and Lhasa. You can check the day-by-day itinerary below.
The beauty of the large and sacred Yamdrock Lake and the immensity of Tibet’s plains are absolutely overwhelming. More than half of Tibet’s consists of inhospitable highlands. Neither stocks of trees nor agriculture is possible here, due to the meager rains and heavy storms .
Yaks will carry our material to the base camp and we will enjoy a moderate ascent over a broad ridge. We will also have time to visit some ancient temples and monasteries, where the Lama monks live as mystics. The everyday life of Tibetan people is also strongly determined by the religious devotion, even outside of these sacred places.
Tibet was also an area of martial people who resisted the conquest of powerful neighbors for centuries. The convulsioned Tibetan history developed a duality, as it became both a fortress and a place of pilgrimage at the same time.
