Yangthang – Hemis Shukpachan Via Rizong (6-7 hrs)
Today our trek is pretty long. We walk alongside the river and trees amidst the gorge to Rizong monastery. It is worth visiting Rizong Monastery, which is isolated at the back of a natural amphitheatre. It has three main rooms to visit, two with large Buddhas and third with a large stupa. After visiting the gompa, we ascend gradually to the Shushut pass 4000 m. From the pass we have a view of Hemis Shukpachan as well as surrounding peaks. An easy descent towards our camp at Hemis Shukpachan takes a couple of hours. It is one of the major villages of Sham, and the name of the village is derived from the conifers (shukpa; cedar or juniper).

From Hemis Shukpachan we trek onto a flat ground as far as ill-defined pass alongside the Chortens (stupas). A steep descent will lead us to the right side of the mountains and climb steadily on the slope towards the Mebtak La 3720 m. After taking short rest and enjoying the view from the pass, we head down to the village of Ang. From Ang, we head towards south on the dusty jeep road to the village of Tingmosgam . Tingmosgam is well famed for its monastery and is perhaps the most affluent village in the sham valley for its apricots, apples, nuts and beautiful houses.
