Climbing
in different peaks of Nepal.
Different
mountains have various levels of difficulty. All of our
climbs follow the standard and easiest route on every mountain.
This gives us a better chance to reach the top. Our guides
always pick safe routes and know the signs of danger. We
give all our clients time to acclimate and if the altitude
begins to effect anyone we know how to react. Good physical
shape is needed for these climbs but no climbing experience
is needed. We urge all clients to follow an exercise routine
before coming to Nepal.
(I) Trekking peaks: smaller and easier
(II) Climbing peaks: higher and challenging including Everest
(I) Trekking peaks: smaller and easier, here are the most
popular climbs we offer:
Mera Peak-6,476 m ( 21,247 ft):
Mera Peak is one of the highest trekking peaks in Nepal.
It is also an easier climb than most others. It is located
south of Everest in the Hinku valley. We follow the standard
route up the North Face . The climb itself takes 3 – 4 days
including 2 nights at base camp depending on weather. Though
the climb is not technically difficult good physical condition
is a must. It takes 6 days to trek to base camp from Lukla
and 6 days to trek back. Give yourself at least three weeks
in Nepal if you want to climb Mera Peak.
Island
Peak-6,189 m (20,305 ft): The name Island
peak comes from the fact that the peak looks like a island
surrounded by ice. We climb Island peak via the South-East
flank on a pretty straight forward climb. There are amazing
views of Everest as well as the entire Khumbu region. This
climb is reached with the Everest base camp trek and takes
around 6-7 days to get to base camp from Lukla. The climb
requires good physical condition.
Tharpu Chuli- 5,500 m (18, 045 m): This mountain
is often called Tent Peak due to it’s tent like shape. This
beautiful mountain is situated in the middle of the Annapurna
Sanctuary. We follow the North-West ridge to a high camp
and the next day follow the same ridge to the top. The trek
to base camp from Pokhara takes an average of at least 5
days. So the entire trip can take 2 to 3 weeks.
There are many other trekking peaks that can be climbed
such as Mardi Himal, the Chulus, Hiunchuli, and Ganesh
Himal. We can guide any of the trekking peaks you wish.
Clothing and Equipment: Having the proper clothing
and equipment is a must for all of our climbing trips. Some
gear is available for rent in Kathmandu such as double boots,
crampons, and ice axes. But sizes and availability of this
gear varies so it could be in your best interest to get
all the gear before you come. We will provide you an equipment
list once you have decided on what trip you would like.
Our guides are experienced mountain climbers who have explored
many of the peaks in Nepal. They will teach you the fundamentals
of mountaineering and safe glacier travel. They are trained
in 1st aid and know how to spot altitude sickness. They
are also friendly and eager to show you their culture.
If you are a professional climber who needs assistance for
a climb please contact us. We can make sure everything runs
smoothly and organized. We can also deal with the often
complicated permit process. So please let us handle your
next climbing expedition.
