Toprecommended route Difficulty difficult

Der Ausblick vom Gipfel des Chamser Kangri ist absolut unvergesslich: Man befindet sich mehr als 2000 Meter über dem Hochland von Changtang und über dem tiefen Blau des Tso Moriri, dessen Ufer selbst bereits auf einer Höhe von 4500 Metern liegen. Im Nordosten sieht man bei klarem Wetter bis zu 200 km weit nach Tibet hinein, auf der gegenüber liegende Seite des Sees reihen sich die 6000er-Gipfel der Mentok-Kette aneinander und im Süden leuchten die schneeweißen Gipfel und Gletscher von Rupshu. Der Chamser Kangri ist weltweit einer der höchsten Berggipfel, die völlig ohne Gletscherkontakt erreicht werden können. Je nach der aktuellen Permit-Situation eignet er sich daher auch besonders gut für individuell organisierte Klein- und Kleinstgruppen.

Eine landschaftlich außerordentlich eindrucksvolle Tour quer durch die Zanskar-Range, bei der man eine Woche lang weder eine feste Siedlung noch eine Straße oder Piste zu Gesicht bekommt. Als besonderer Höhenpunkt und Abschluss bietet sich ein spektakulärer Ausblick auf die schneebedeckten 7000er-Gipfel des Nun-Kun-Massivs.
