Tsurphu to Yangpachen trek is a rugged walk beginning at Tsurphu Monastery and crossing several high valleys like Leten valley and Bartso valley before coming into the broad and windswept Yanpachen valley, ends at Yanpanche Monastery which overlooks part of the Trans-Himalaya range. As you start your trip to Tsurphu Monastery, this rugged walk crosses several alpine valleys before emerging into the broad and windswept Yangpachen valley which is situated above the altitude extending from 4400m to even above 5300m at the Lasar-la. Combining alpine tundra and sweeping mountain panoramas with visit to monasteries and a nunnery, Tsurphu to Yangpachen trekking nicely provide the visitors to observe cultural and wilderness activities closely. this trek nicely balances cultural and wilderness activities. Tsurphu Monastery has an annual festival around the time of the Saga Dawa festival, on the 9th, 10th and 11th days of the 4th Tibetan month (around May). There is plenty of free-flowing chang (Tibetan barley beer), as well as ritual cham dancing and the unfurling of a great Thangka on the platform across the river from the monastery. Yangpachen is famous with its geothermal scenery Throughout the year, hot water at 70℃ boils and bubbles amid a thick fog. The grandest sight appears when the throttle valve is turned on, boiling water and steam will burst straight into the sky.
April to October is the best time to do this trek because of the flourishing grass and wildflower in grassland. This trek perfectly balances cultural and wilderness activities and tourists can have a close eye to Tibetan nomads lifestyle.
