The trail from Jark Kharka (4210m) takes only 25 minutes to climb to the meadows of Langmale Kharka (4405m, also called Yak Kharka) where there is a hotel and shop. Beyond Langmale Kharka the trail climbs over a ridge and ascends alongside a moraine to Merek (4570m) a few sandy campsites above the river, taking 40 minutes from Langmale Kharka. Just after Merek, the valley turns west with views to Chamlang East and then slightly north to Sherson (4660m) on a grassy plain, taking another 55 minutes.
