About Karma Gorge

Karma Gorge is the most stunning and least visited face of Mt. Everest’s east side, this trekking path is in Chuthang town in Tibet. In the past, there were some mountaineers who tried to climb the eastern side of Mount Everest but mostly climbed from the north and south side of Everest.

Imagine hiking and camping in untouched valleys surrounded by magnificent alpine forests, lakes, and the world’s highest peaks Everest, 8848m, Lhotse, 8501m, Lhotse Shar, 8382m and Makalu, 8463m. Besides these three giant snow mountains, there are also many fabulous lakes and all types of wildflowers and bushes. The place is very unique and peaceful with fabulous scenery. The land is like magic it will simply keep your eye and mouth open and wonder about the beauty.

There is also a 7000m height mountain called Chomo Lhazom, till now no one has climbed this mountain even though it’s the second highest 7000 height mountain in Tibet. The trekking path is full of surprises, one minute it’s all snow, and then the next minutes it’s a lush jungle of pines and crystal clear rivers and lakes, and the wide range of wildflowers just like heaven.

 

This trekking path is also a must-visit destination for photographers, here you find everything that you have dreamed of; the highest mountain in the world, Everest, and other three 8000m height snow mountains and the Himalayas range. also the Milky Way, sun rise and sun set, forest, lakes, rivers, nature, wildflowers and you name it, and it’s there.
