Tserko Ri
चेर्को री
A high viewpoint peak across from Kyanjin Gompa, at about 4,985 m, with a wider view than Kyanjin Ri. It takes a full day to climb.
Tserko Ri lies southeast of Kyanjin Gompa, at nearly 5,000 m. It is one of the highest viewpoints reachable on foot in the Langtang Valley. The round trip takes about 7 to 9 hours, with a climb of more than 1,100 m. From the summit, you get a 360-degree view of Langtang Lirung, Yala Peak, Langshisa Ri and, far away, Shishapangma. The route is a steep slope of loose rock, so go only after you have acclimatized, and it is best to hire a guide and start early.
