The trek from Kharta to Kangsung, the eastern face of the Everest, is one of the best treks in the high Himalayas in Tibet. Gorgeous valleys of infrequent human presence, Holy lakes and the spectacular scenery offered by the icy mass of Everest which looms over the high land of Tibet are enchanting. The entire region from Kharta to the Kama valley, extending to the Arun valley in Nepal, is a part of the blessed land of Guru Rinpoche. Trekking through beautiful valleys rich in vegetation and flowers and crossing over high passes to Phetang Ringmo situated in an alpine valley below the East face of Mt. Everest enhance the pleasure of hiking for the adventure seekers.
