Parchamo, situated south of the Tashilaptsa Pass, has a north-by-northwest ridge, rising from the crevassed glacier that straddles the Tashi Lapcha. The face of this ridge forms a uniform slope broken by crevasses that rise from the rocky lower buttresses above the Drolambau Glaciers in the west.

Rolwaling Valley is the main access route to Parchamo, with the only other alternative from the Khumbu side via Namche Bazar and Thame.
Parchamo was first climbed in 1955.

Lobuche consists of two summits, East and West (6143 m), connected by a continuous ridge, but with a marked gap and a considerable distance between them. The East is regarded as a trekking peak, whereas Lobuche West is recognised as a full Expedition peak.

Lobuche, an attractive mountain that was first summited in 1984, has various existing routes, as well as offering the potential for new ones. The dark triangle of its rocky east face rises over the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier to a spectacular skyline, forming the south ridge.

The peak of Lobuche East is reached by descending a marked notch and climbing steep snowy slopes to the top. The mountain is more commonly climbed on the summit ridge only as far as a subsidiary snow summit, identified as a false peak, which is situated south-east of the true peak and before the notch.

Together with Annapurna South, Hiun Chuli forms a massive south-facing wall, while its eastern face overlooks the Modi Khola, guarding the entrance to the Annapurna Sanctuary.
Though not technically difficult to climb, the mountain is vulnerable to rock-falls – and finding the route can therefore be a problem.
Hiun Chuli has received little attention from mountaineers and is rarely climbed, despite the fact that it offers major new route potentials.

Note: You can climb this peak combined with the Annapurna circuit trek. This trek commences from Besi Sahar.

This is the most popular trekking peak in Nepal and although it is also the highest, it is one of the easiest, too, being considered a “walk up” in good weather and if the snow conditions are not too soft.
Those who undertake this trek do need to be conversant with the use of an ice-axe and crampons, as well as being fit, but instruction in their use will be given in Kathmandu, and also at the base camp near Mera La, if required.

Summitting Mera is a highly rewarding experience, providing some wonderful views encompassing Kanchenjunga and Makalu to the east, with Everest, Nuptse and Lhotse to the north. Looking westward, the spires of Ama Dablam and Kang Taiga are clearly visible.
The climb itself necessitates establishing a high camp at 5800 m on the Mera Glacier, before attempting the summit on the next day. The ascent is via the north face glacier and is a steady push to the summit ridge, which leads, somewhat precariously, to the top.

This is something of an explorer’s peak, which offers climbers great challenges because of the hanging glacier that guards its western flank. Additionally the western end of the ridge is protected by huge rock slabs, which add to the difficulty level of the climb.
Pisang Peak is situated in the Marsyangdi Valley part of the Annapurna Region and was first summitted by a German expedition in 1955.
Although this is a non-technical peak, its steepness and the other complicating factors mean that an ice axe and crampons, as well as previous climbing experience, are necessary.

Imja Tse, giving the impression of an island set in a sea of ice, is one of Nepal’s most popular trekking peaks and has a consuming fascination for many of those who set their hearts on summiting a minor peak in the Khumbu Himal area.
Its summit is intriguing and attractive, with a highly glaciated west face rising from the Lhotse Glacier.

The southern ridge leads to the true summit, while its southwestern extension, part of the normal route of ascent, leads to the south summit – a more technical climb involving a scramble up a rocky gully to a glacier.
Above this point, a headwall of steep snow leads to the summit ridge, which continues, in an extremely exposed position, to the summit.
The climb poses a very enjoyable challenge and offers some of the most remarkable Himalayan views in the entire Khumbu region.

International Everest 8848 m North Face Expedition Spring 2010
Fixed Departure 2010
Everest (8,848m) The first highest peak in the world.

The Everest expedition from the Tibetan side has become increasingly popular among the mountaineers in hopes of making their dream come true to stand on the summit of Everest. This is due to the low cost of royalties and other basic mountaineering services as well as it being the safest route to the summit.

On the third day after your arrival in Kathmandu, we drive towards the Nepal/Tibet border in Kodari via the Arniko Highway, where the Chinese liaison officer and Chinese transportation await us. The expedition gear is taken by truck and you travel by Land cruiser 4WD to Zhangmu, which is first city across the Tibetan border.

We rest at Zhangmu (2300 m) one night and then spend two nights at Nyalam (3750 m) in order to acclimatize by trekking up the nearby high hills.

The next day we continue drive to Tingri (4350 m) where we spend an additional two nights acclimatizing. Then we drive from Tingri to the base camp (5200 m) along a jerking and rather bouncy ride through the grassy plain that leads you to the Everest Base Camp; also known as the Chinese Base Camp.

We set up our camp at the Chinese Base Camp and stay two nights or more depending on how you feel. Here we made arrangements for yaks; the base camp and the Advance Base Camp (ABC) are arranged prior to our trip.
After walking 2 days, we reach the ABC (6400m) with yaks. From the ABC, the route goes to the east Rongbuk (Everest Base) glacier and after that there is an easy snow slope to the North Col (7000 m) where camp 1 is situated on snow.
Then onwards, there are a few long reasonably angled snow slopes to climb (7400 m) where we will meet the location of camp 2 on snow. The route from camp 2 to camp 3 (7900 m) is the series on rocks, which is a little bit difficult, but past the rocks the terrain is easy to walk again. Camp 3 is situated on rocks.

The route again goes through a series of rocky climbs, and then there is a median angled snow slopes where we have to climb on mixed rocks and snow until we reach camp 4 (8400 m). Camp 4 is also on rock but occasionally it is covered by snow. To reach camp 4 we have to fix the climbing ropes — these safety lines are there to provide you with a safe place when you are tired and the wind seems too strong. Camp 4 is the last camp until the Everest summit from North East Ridge. Now the route is mixed with rocks and snow steps. This step is quite steep in many places.

Climbing Sherpa for Himalayan:
We facilitate the provision of highly professional, well-trained and qualified climbing Sherpas for your expeditions. Some climbers try to avoid using Sherpa guides, but they inevitably encounter problems en route. Sherpas are highly recommended because they can provide all the practical and psychological support you need for your climb – and their assistance will help you conserve your valuable energy. The success rate of groups who climb with Sherpas is considerably higher than that of those who attempt the summits without their aid.

Mount Everest (8,848m.) South Face Expedition
Fixed Departure

Mount Everest is the highest peak on Earth (8848 m) making mountaineers who have reached the summit the most adventurous in the world. Sir Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norge Sherpa first climbed this peak on May 29, 1953, after a long and strenuous effort.
Everest Base Camp is situated on the Khumbu glacier at height of 18,000 ft. This is where all international Mt. Everest climbers assemble before and after their assent. Normally the climbing duration of this expedition lasts 90 days. The excitement among the climbers is very evident at the camp.

After the Base camp, we cross crevasses, sercs and black ice with the use of fixed ropes and aluminium ladders to reach Camp 1 at 6400 m.

Camp 1: 6,400 m
This camp is situated in a flat area of snow with endlessly deep crevasses and mountain walls. Because of the Sun’s reflection this camp is fairly warm. At night we can hear the deep murmuring as the crevasses crack beneath our tents.

Camp 2: 6,750 m
This camp is located at the foot of the icy Mount Lhotse wall. Generally the weather here is good, but occasionally clouds roll in from the lower range of the Himalayan valley. The wind here can become quite violent – enough to destroy our tents.

Camp 3: 7,100 m
Camp 3 is next to the Mount Lhotse wall. The climb over the Lhotse wall leads us to camp 4. Here we ascend steep bands of loose and down –slopping, rotten limestone. The route moves up the Geneva Spur to the east before finishing on the flats of the south col. Oxygen should probably be used above base camp 3.

Camp 4: 8,400 m
Camp 4 is the last camp of the Expedition. From here the summit is about 500 m. This is the final and most dangerous part of the climb. This place is besieged by ferocious and violent winds. The best way to reach the summit is via the narrow South – East Ridge and proceeding to the South Summit (28,710 ft.). Sir Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norge Sherpa used this route in 1953.

Shisapangma Climbing & Expedition – 40 days

The only 8000+ metre peak entirely within the Tibetan boundary, Shishapangma (‘the big grassy field’) is a beautiful mountain from which there is an awesome panorama of the Himalaya range.

From the climber’s perspective, the first 7300 metres or so are a fairly straightforward steady push, but the remaining 700 metres requires much greater effort and commitment, as we cross the North Ridge and move towards the summit. Mountaineers are rewarded by brilliant views of the Jugal and Langtang Himal ranges in particular.

Groups meet initially in Kathmandu, for briefing and to spend a few days preparing for the journey, which will begin on the Friendship Highway as we travel to Nyalam, the first major settlement in Tibet (3750 metres).

We spend the first two nights in Tibet under canvas, with day hikes to higher altitudes for the purpose of acclimatization. On our third day we cross the high pass of Lablung La (5070 metres), before turning to follow the grassy track leading to Shishapangma Base Camp, a journey of approximately four hours. The following day is spent preparing for the climb to come, though there should also be some time for excursions around the base camp. After breakfast on the next day we make for advance base camp and spend either one or two nights here, as the group requires. The following 27 days are spent attempting – and hopefully conquering – the summit, and descending to base camp again. On the day before beginning our return journey to Kathmandu, we are at work cleaning the base camp. There is an overnight stop at the border town of Zhang-Mu before we travel the final leg to Kathmandu.
