Nepal Trekking Peaks
I
am not a specialist mountain climbing guiding service. I
can guide you on what I consider easy grade mountains, but
I will stop short of guiding on full scale, technical or
very high altitude expeditions. My reasoning is that these
require all participants to be fully experienced and trained.
Many smaller Himalayan Peaks can be successfully climbed
by amateur mountaineers and strong trekkers on a relatively
short holiday. The government of Nepal has opened 18 Peaks
that are known as " Trekking Peaks" for trekking
groups with permission from Nepal Mountaineering Association.
They are certainly not just an extension of a walking trek,
although they are not technically difficult by their normal
route of ascent. People who wish to undertake this type
of climbing need psychological plus physical stamina and
require basic mountain climbing skills above the snow line
- using ice axe, crampons, ropes and general climbing equipments.
Prior experience is certainly an advantage. I can arrange
the logistics for expeditions on all peaks through reliable
a Trekking/ Expedition Company. Detailed itineraries for
all peaks are available on request.

peaks possibilities in Nepal .

IMJA TSE PEAK (ISLAND PEAK) 6160
meters.
The region we visit is the Mt. Everest Region, home of the
Sherpas, who are familiar with the mountains and climbing
has become a part of their life. Their rich culture and
heritage is being preserved by them even though there is
noticeable development in the region influenced by the visiting
tourists. There are wild goats, musk deer, pheasants, and
Himalayan cock in the higher places. You will be trekking
the colorful grandeur of the high mountain valleys via sub-tropical
pine and rhododendron forests with the views of Mt Everest
( 8848 meters), Cho- Oyu, Lhotse, Ama Dablam etc. You will
be visit local monasteries, and you will witness Sherpa
culture and hospitality. Namche Bazaar (3,440 meters) is
the hometown of the Sherpas and is the gateway of all expeditions
in the region. This is a strenuous trek in the Everest Region,
crossing the Chola Pass, and ascending Kalapathar lets you
acclimatize fully before you attempt the final summit of
the Island Peak (Imja Tse). It is normally a non-technical
snow climb, except one steep ice or snow climb of about
100 Meters and then to the final ascent of the Peak. Your
baggage will be carried either by porters or yaks, so you
will be left with your backpack carrying your camera, gloves,
wind jacket, w

Lobuche East Peak
(6,119m/20,070ft.)
There are two distinct summits to Lobuje Peak - Lobuje East
(6,119m/20,070ft) and Lobuje West (6,145m/20,161ft). Although
they are connected by a continuous ridge there is a sharp
gap and a considerable distance between them. Lobuje is an
attractive summit, offering a variety of existing routes and
a wide scope for new lines. Seen from near Pheriche, the dark
triangle of its rocky East Face rises above the moraines of
the Khumbu Glacier to an icy skyline. This skyline forms the
South Ridge, the junction of the East Face with the glaciated
South-West Face and the line of the normal route of ascent.
This in turn leads to the summit ridge running north-west
from the top of East Face through several small summits to
the East Peak.
Lobuje East: The true East
Peak is quite striking and is reached by descending into marked
notch and climbing steep snow/ice slopes to the top. This
is rarely climbed and is often mistaken for Lobuje West. Most
attempts on the mountain climb the summit ridge only as far
as subsidiary snow summit, before the notch, south-east of
the true peak. The false summits east of the notch have

Pisang Peak
6091meter
Seen from Pisang peak, the peak rises from yak pastures above
the village in a uniform slope to the final summit pyramid,
which is an undistinguished snow and ice slope. Looked at
from above Ongre the peak is a little more interesting and
can be seen as a curved ridge, with face above Pisang peak
being the truncated southern end of the mountain. This is
made up of steeply tilted rock, the dip slope of which faces
the valley and is well seen in this peak and the great rock
slabs further down the valley. The Peak obviously has a lot
of scope for exploration and pioneering. The whole of the
western flank, which is guarded by a hanging glacier, would
appear to offer a considerable challenge, whilst a traverse
of the whole summit ridge which connects to a more northern
summit before curving back west looks a superb possibility.
Access to the western end of the ridge however, looks problematical
as the ridge is guarded by huge rock slabs, a feature on this
side of the valley.

Singu Chuli (6501 m)
Singu Chuli is located to the north of Tharpu Chuli, across
the valley from Annapurna BC in the Annapurna Sanctuary. The
approach to Singu Chuli can be across the north-west ridge
below the summit of Tharpu Chuli. The peak is normally climbed
along the south ridge which is also the approach to Glacier
Dome (7202 m). The view from the summit is spectacular with
eight peaks higher than 7000 m lining the rim of the Annapurna
Sanctuary. For more information we recommend Bill O'Connor's

Yala Peak (5500 m)
This is a climbing trip in the Langtang valley north of Kathmandu
. The climb is easy and suited for anyone with trekking experience.
We start in Syabrubesi after a 5 hour drive from Kathmandu
and spend five days hiking up the beautiful Langtang valley
to Kyanjin Gompa at 3800 m. Kyanjin Gompa is situated below
Langtang Lirung (7246 m) and we spend three days acclimatizing
taking day-hikes in spectacular surroundings. We establish
base camp on a meadow at 4800 m and climb Yala Peak the next
day. The last 400 m is on ice so we will be using crampons,
ice axe and rope. From the summit we can see Shishapangma
(8046 m) and the fluted Gangchempo (6388 m). After the climb
we return to Syabrubesi and drive to Kathmandu .

Hiunchuli Peak
(6,441m. / 21,126ft.)
Hiunchuli lies in the Annapurna range and it is connected
to Annapurna South. Discovered by Col. Jimmy Roberts, it is
one of the three major trekking peaks within the "Annapurna
Sancturary", to be named by Roberts. The mountains of
this area are considered the sacred by the Gurungs who inhabit
the region. The other two peaks within the sanctuary are Tharpu
Chuli ( Tent Peak ) and Singu Chuli (Fluted Peak ).Hiunchuli
was first summited by an American Peace Corps Expedition under
the leadership of Craig Anderson in October 1971. Although
it is easy to reach the mountain and the popularity of the
Annapurna Sancutary with trekkers and climbers, the actual
ascent of Hinuchuli is considered one of the most difficult
among the trekking peaks. South-East Face Route: The route
to base camp starts from Hinko Cave on the Annapurna Sanctuari
trail. After establishing the first camp somewhere above the
valley floor a further 2 camps are neccessary to make it to
the top. Although not technically extreme this route is exposed
to rockfall and serac dangers and is a complicated route-finding
experience. North-West Face Route: The ascent by the North-West
Face has been attempted only by a very few climbers and not
always successfully. The exact route is not well known. The
approach is from the Annapurna Base Camp in the Sanctuary
and a further 2 camps may be necessary to complet this not
so well known ascent.

Chulu East Peak
6,584m
Chulu East (6584m) to the north east of the Annapurna Range
is an ideal objective for those extending their climbing experience
beyond the trekking peaks of the Everest region. It is also
well suited for an expeditionary style ascent with group members
playing an active role in establishing the intermediary camps
while preparing for the summit. Appreciating the delights
of our approach trek in the Annapurna region we gradually
ascend to the Manang Valley. After establishing base camp
we plan our two intermediary camps on the North East Ridge.
While our team of Sherpas provide support, group members will
be encouraged to load carry and establish the high camps in
order to improve acclimatisation, fitness and for optimum
chances of summitting. The final ridge climb to Chulu East
is technically straightforward - with rewarding views south
to the Annapurnas and north to peaks that define the border
of the vast Tibetan Plateau. ITINERARY

Ganjala Chuli
5,844m.
Langtang region is a popular destination for climbing snow
peaks and spectacular panoramic views of mountains in Nepal
and Tibet . Easy access to the region and availability of
several snow peaks scattered around for acclimatization make
this region an ideal destination for novice as well as experienced
climbers. Naya Kanga is an attractive peak rising to the west
of the Ganja La pass (5,122m/16,800ft) . Ascending to Ganja
La and the summit of Naya Kanga offer the spectacular panoramic
views of mountains in Nepal and Tibet including Langshisa
Ri (6,370m/20,894ft), Pemthang Ri (6,836m/22,422ft), Shisapangma
(8,046m/27,749ft), Langtang Lirung (7,425m/24,354ft), Pemthang
Kapro Ri (6,830m/22,402ft) and Langtang II (6,571m/21,553ft).
The normal route of ascent to Naya Kanga is via the north
- east ridge over a line on ice and snow. We follow the route
of Langtang trek to Kyangjin (3,749m/12,297ft) for the ascent
of Naya Kanga. Northeast of Kyangjin Ri (4,700m/15,416ft),
there are two peaks; Yala Peak (5,500m/18,040ft) and Tsergo
Peak (5,749m/18,857ft) that provide good climbing for acclimatization.North-East
Face & North RidgeCrossing the Langtang Khola below Kyangjin,
we climb steeply along the ridge through a forest of rhododendron
and juniper. We continue following the trail to Ganja La climbing
steeply through moraine. We leave Ganja La trail to climb
steeply up yet more moraine to reach the eastern end of the
glacier shelf beneath the north-east face of Naya Kanga. We
cross the glacier shelf to the foot of a shallow couloir heading
to the north ridge. We climb the couloir to the notch and
the base of the ridge. Now the ridge widens and leads to a
small col. on the east-west summit ridge and the summit is
only 30m higher to the right. The climb near the summit should
be done carefully. Normally, the ascent takes 5-7 hours.
