Overview

About Karma Gorge

Karma Gorge is the most stunning and least visited face of Mt. Everest’s east side, this trekking path is in the 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 its there.

Hi, I am interested in this tour. But I cannot exert myself much and was wondering if I can skip the Kailash Kora and use other forms of transportation. I do however want to see Mt. Kailash. Also are you able to provide oxygen?

Permit application：
Tibet travel permit process takes around 22 days and we need 3 days to send you the permit in mainland China . We also need your passport and China visa copy for the permit application. Please send me clear photos or scan copies. If your China Visa is not an “L” visa, then you must also provide additional documents such as student certificates, work permits, residence permits and so on. If you enter Tibet by plane, you need original permit which we will mail it to your last hotel in mainland China, if you by train, only need copy of the permit, which we will send you by email. Tour Information:
Here I recommend you 15 days Kailash group tour below, sorry, since this is group tour, basically everything is fixed, so, we cannot find other transportation for you to avoid the trekking. What’s more, there is no public bus.
Please check the details below. Also, please let me know if your nationality is India, thank you!
Have a wonderful day!
Best Regards,
