Lapchi trekking is also popular trekking in Tibet region, which is called Milarepa's Hermitage; it is situated to the southwest of Tingri and east of Nyalam. Milarepa Cave, the famous Tibetan Yogi (poet & singer as well) lived and died in this region, due to that region became one of the most sacred destination in the Himalayas after Kailash and Tsari. We usually know about the Miparepa's Cave of it, actually there are verities of cave hermitages in Lapchi.

We begin our Lapchi trekking from Pelgyeling (near Nyalam), which is situated on the friendship highway. We trekking to Tshigang f rom Pelgyeling, and Jamgang La (Kang-La) then eventually reaching Lapchi. We take an extra day to explore around the Lapchi region then return to Nyalam via the same route. Nyalam is situated about 35 km inside of Tibet from the Nepal boarder (Kodari), so it is practical to start Lapchi trekking from Kodari (border town of Nepal). Kodari is 115 km north-east from Kathmandu and it takes a 5 hours overland journey to be there from Kathmandu. Alternatively, travelers can fly from Kathmandu to Lhasa or from mainland China then travel to Tashigang on 4WD Jeep via Gyantse and Shigatse then start trekking to Lapchi. The best time for trekking in Lapchi is between May and September.
