The large south-western glacier of Kawa Karpo

Reaching the south-west glacier of Kawa Karpo is an adventure of its own.


Through a forest of oak and dense bamboo...

... along steep slopes...
.

... following a rough and wild river...

... across strange bridges...
.
There is no maintained trail to the glacier. However, you can find a few more or less prominent trails used by hunters.

... and without bridges.
