Recommends trekking with Moonlight Travels who are particularly aware of environmental issues and trekkers carry all the garbage out of the remote areas in a 'green bag'.
Pages 191-196 Trek from Likir to Temisgam
In the more demanding alternative from Yangtang to Rizong, Kunu-la, Hemis Shukpachu, in the river valley called Wuleh-tokpo (p.193). The path down to Rizong Gompa, which according to the map in the guide is following on the right to the river doesn`t exist anymore. It must have been destroyed by a flood. So now the trek from Yangtang to Rizong is only manageable at low water, because you have to cross the stream several times. I don't know if a reconstruction of the old path is planned, but in summer 2009 there was nobody working on it.
