Trekking Genyen in East-Tibet Kham

Situated at Litang, the Holy Mt. Genyen is the main Peak Shaluli Shan and as high as 6,204 meters above sea level. All through the ages many Buddhist hierarchs had come over to practice at this mountain; hence the name Genyen meaning meditator in Tibetan. In 1169, Dusum Khyenpa the founder of the Karma Kagyu established Lenggu Monastery in this mountain. At present, the hand trace of the first Karmapa still remains on the rock behind the monastery. The murals in the temple tell us the legends of every peak of the holy mountain. In the caves, which are densely distributed around mountain, the monks still reside and keep on practicing.

Around Genyen, there are dozens of peaks above 5,000 meters. With bare rocks and precipitous cliffs, the Genyen Peak is capper with snow all year round. On the mountain slopes are the plateau wild forests, closely connecting with grasslands and shrubs. In the vast valley are winding streams and dense swamps and grassy marshland.
