Geocache Description:

This Cache is situated on the highest point of the Gandem-Samye trek : 5260m. You'd better be in good shape to get it.

When we went to Tibet we checked that there were very few geocaches. Thus we decided to put one on this amazing 4-5 days trek, all the time above 4000m and often above 5000m. The place is great and is worth the hike !
When you are at the pass, you can find a huge amount of rocks with prayer flags, and several other cairns.
Next to the big cairn with prayer flags are three others cairns in the direction of south west.
The cache is inside the third one. (See pictures)

Small note on cache maintenance: There is a local cache guardian. Name and contact info on file with geocaching.com.
