Second acclimatization base
Kyanjin Gompa is a broad, wind-exposed settlement at about 4,410 m. Most standard itineraries spend a second night here before Kyanjin Ri. The extra night is a safety feature, not empty time: it allows a controlled daytime hike and a lower-risk sleeping-altitude progression.
- Ask the guide whether Nangkartshang Peak or an easier valley walk suits current health and weather.
- Protect your face and hands from wind and strong sun.
- Monitor headache, nausea, appetite, sleep and coordination before going higher.
