Why did you group via Tengpoche when there is a much more impressive High Scenic Trail on the opposite side of the valley? The Mong La - Phortse - Pangpoche high route offers amazing views across the valley, lots of wildlife like Himalayan Tahr and musk deer and practically no other trekkers. Tengpoche can be visited on the way down.
Thank you for showing the viewers the entire section of the trek.

One of the hikers was having trouble acclimating. I plan to go back in a few years and try a different route up.
