Set high between the valleys of Bum Chu and Kharda Chu, the challenging road to the summit is totally unpaved. It’s 17.1 km (10.62 miles) long, running south-north from Kedong to Chicun.
A 4x4 vehicle is required. Mount Everest is visible from the summit. The road to the summit is brutally steep, hitting a 25% of maximum gradient through some of the ramps.
