Kanchen Gola Wild 2002 - Yangma to GhunsaAfter exploring above Yangma we crossed to Ghunsa and the main Kanchenjunga region. Naturally this involved crossing a range of mountains and

This is Yangma (Yangmak), the only village in the upper region of the valley systems we explored.
Glaciers almost close enough to touch!
A rich sunset was reward for camping rather late one evening.
Another evening there wasn't flat space for all our tents so we ate under a tarp and some of us slept outside.
One of the delights (at least to me, if not everyone) was the occasionally rough
terrain.
We used two yaks for a couple of days once we had sent lots of porters back. |
