Hazorchashma Pass to Danisher

We have 14 donkeys, 5 donkey handlers plus a cook and extra guide named Saddulatrekking with us for the next week. Feeling a wee bit like royalty! While we ate breakfast, the tents were disassembled and the donkeys were loaded up with our luggage, the tents and the other camp supplies. We got an early start and trekked east from Hazorchashma Lake (2400m) towards the Tovassang Pass climbing steadily to 3350m. We had a picnic lunch at the top of the pass and let the donkeys overtake us so things would be set up when we got to our camp in Donisher Gorge. The view of the Sarmat Gorge in the distance was worth the exertion to reach the pass but our trek was not over. We needed to go down into the gorge to our nights camp at 2900m . It was a long, hot, tiring day ( 12km, 8.5 hours). Our camp was set up strafegically beside a river and in a grassy flat area with a gorgeous view of the mountains as a backdrop.Läs mer
