Pharchamo Peak

Pharchamo Peak 

Situated at Rolwaling Himalayan range in Rolwaling region of Nepal,Pharchamo Peak (6,187m) is a straightforward snow peak with a well defined north by northwest ridge rising from the relatively flat crevassed glacier astride the Tashi Lapcha pass. To the west of the ridge the face forms a uniform snow slope broken by crevasses and small sera rising from the rocky lower buttresses above the Drolambau Glacier. Pharchamo lies to the south of Tashi Lapcha pass which connects the Rolwaling Valley with Thame and the Khumbu Valley.
With a scenic drive on the Kathmandu-Lhasa highway to the ancient trading town of Dolakha, the route to the peak leads through Rolwaling region which has remained untouched by western civilization and groups of trekkers are not often seen, even in the peak trekking seasons. With outstanding sceneries, the route leads along beautiful river valleys, past beautiful Sherpa and Tamang villages before emerging in high alpine landscapes. Main attraction of Pharchamo Peak are panoramic views of Himalayan peaks like Langtang, Everest, Gaurishankar, Dorje Lakpa, Choba Bhamre, Menlungtse Mt. Tashi Lapcha etc. After the completion of the climbing to the summit, we cross the Tashi Lapcha pass and enter into the Khumbu Valley from where our journey ends with a flight back to Kathmandu from Lukla.

Tharpu Chuli Peak Climbing


Tharpu Chuli 

Tharpu Chuli (5,663m) is located above the Annapurna Valley directly opposite one of the most recognisable peaks in the world; Machhapuchhre. Also referred to as ‘Tent Peak’ due to its shape, the mountain lies in the south of Annapurna Base Camp. The normal route to climb Tharpu Chuli follows the North-West Ridge to the summit. The summit offers magnificent panoramic views of majestic snow-capped mountains of the Annapurna region including Machhapuchhre, Annapurna I, II, III and IV, Gangapurna, Baraha Shikhar and Hiunchuli.

Tharpu Chuli offers the best short trekking peak climbing experience in the Annapurna region. It is technically easy but equally challenging, an excellent start to those who are intending to step up from trekking to amateur mountaineering or equally for trekkers wishing to add an extra challenge to the most popular Annapurna Base Camp trek.

For a better acclimatization, we trek through several different ethnic settlements, terraced farmlands, cascading waterfalls, and pine and rhododendron forests.  From Poon Hill, you can enjoy the famous sunrise views of the Annapurna Valley and of Dhaulagiri. Once at Annapurna Base Camp, you spend time acclimatizing further before following the glacial moraine to Tharpu Chuli Base Camp. A further high camp is used at 5,000m. From high camp the route crosses the glacier and climbs a 45° snow slope to attain the North West Ridge. The ridge, which is broad at first, becomes knife-edged for the final 50m to the summit. The views from the top are some of the finest in the Himalaya.

Lobuche Peak Climbing



Lying close to the Khumbu glacier in Everest region, Lobuche has two summits – East (6,119m) and West (6,145m). Although they are connected by a continuous ridge, there is a sharp gap and a considerable distance between them. The trekking peak permit is for the east peak, whilst Lobuche West, at the head of the Lobuche glacier, requires an expedition permit. The dark triangle of Lobuche East rises over the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier to a spectacular skyline, forming the south ridge, which is the normal standard route. The peak of Lobuche is reached by descending a marked notch and climbing steep snowy slopes to the top. It has nerve breaking view of the Khumbu valley and glacier. From the summit, amazing views of Everest alongside Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Pumori can be viewed.

A spectacular flight to Lukla takes us to the land of Sherpas from where our trek begins. Passing through several villages, monasteries and forests, we trek to the base camp of the highest mountain in the world – Everest and Kala Patthar, from where you will have a 360 degree breathtaking view of the Himalayas.
