In
NW Yunnan province and
Southwestern corner of Tibet is
the Tibetan sacred mountain Kawa
Karpo. The peak is known to
Tibetans throughout the Himalayas
as far east as Ladakh, as a sacred
mountain. They revere it as the
eastern most abode of Shri
Chakrasamvara, also known as
Khorlo Demchok. This same Buddhist
deity is also thought to abide in
Mt. Kailash-all beautiful
pilgrimage mountains spread
throughout Tibet. Kawa Karpo, at
6,740m, is today one of the
highest unclimbed peaks in the
world. This is a highlighted trek
taken by Tibetan Buddhists. Hidden
in the foot of Mt. Kawa karpo,
Yubeng village is stunningly
beautiful and isolated. We will
trek on pilgrim's trails to one of
Tibet's most sacred mountains,
visit the holy sites including the
water fall and Prince Monastery on
Mingyong Glacier.
