We pass through the high Alpine yak pastures, glaciers and moraines around Kyangin and a climb of the peak Naya kanga is the another option to think. More to see are the Sacred Lakes for the Hindus at Gosainkund (4,380 m) crossing into Helambu via the Laurebina Pass (4,610 m) and getting to Ghopte (3,430 m) and further to Trake Gyang.
