Pemako is one of the most sacred spots in all Tibet. Throughout the last several centuries many visionary lamas have journeyed here to unearth Buddhist treasures hidden ages ago. The sanctity of this area is palpable. Only a handful of westerners have been to the region. The treks vary in difficulty from technical hikes which include rappelling and river crossings, to standard non-technical trekking routes.
All trips take one through the varied ecosystems of the region.
We consider these treks to be some of our finest. It is truly a privilege to be able to experience such wilderness in the late twentieth century. They form the extreme eastern end of the Kun Lun mountains. None of the barren desert harshness of central Tibet is found here. Instead, the region is covered by vast rolling hills inhabited by Golok nomads and yaks.
