Day 9: Yaksa - Thombu (4150M) - 14
kms/5 hrs
Pass to cross: Thombu La, 4550m
Climbing out of Yaksa, you will see the few houses that make up the Yaksa village across the valley, and the
pass you came
over yesterday. About 2 hours of gradual climbing and you will cross the tree line, entering
another valley. The pass is an hour climb from here. From the pass, you can
see the yak herders grazing
grounds of Thombu, our camp. On a clear day, you can even see some houses in Tibet.
