Article Hike under Syagang

The path up to Syagang is very simple. From Thorong High Camp one sets out in the direction Thorong la pass, but before the first major descent to the river flowing from the glacier under Syagang turn to the moraine and then ascent along it. If there were not a few stone cairns, it would seem that there no one have gone here before. Noise from civilization is far away. On the horizon you can see almost the whole way to Thorong la pass tohether with the refreshment house in the halfway. Rocky spire Yakwakang dominates the view. No one would say that it has almost 6,500 meters above sea level.

The views of the Damodar Himalaya and Thorong High Camp together with the little outlook hill nearby open more and more with higher altitude meters.

Also for this trip it holds true that the best view is to Chulu

It is possible to see clearly that Damodar Himalaya mountains have two faces. On the southern sides there are smoothed gigantic rock plates and under them a gigantic pile of debris. Northern sides are still covered by huge snowy glaciers.

Perhaps even more impressive than the mountains is the gigantic mountain valley. There must have been a big glacier flowing in the past. Today there is just little remnant of it, in addition discreetly hidden under tons of debris.
