Trail description

Tserko (Tsergo) Ri, about 5000 m, is the high viewpoint above Kyanjin Gompa at the head of the Langtang valley. The ascent takes up to 6 to 7 hours and the descent 3 to 4 hours, on a rough trail with strong wind and no drinking water; it can be fully covered in snow in winter. The whole route is far above 3500 m and needs acclimatisation.
