Chulu East Peak Climbing
Mount Chulu East (6,584M.) was first ascended in 1955 by a German
expedition via the northeast ridge. It forms an integral part of
Manang Himal combining both the peaks, Chulu East and Chulu West, which
ultimately combined with Damodar Himal.
Pisang Peak Climbing
Pisang Peak (6092 m.) is considered as one of the easier climbing peaks
among the trekking peaks of Nepal. The Pisang Peak has majestically
stood up above the village of Pisang and has formed the shape of
pyramid in the summit. Our trekking starts from Besisahar in the Valley
of the Marsyangdi River. One can enjoy the diverse flora & fauna
along the trail until reaching the majestic peak of Mt. Manaslu and
Lamjung Himal.
Mera Peak Climbing
Situated at an altitude of 21,825 ft. above the sea level, Mera Peak is
the highest of all Nepal's official trekking peaks. The peak is located
in the Hinku Valley. It is a challenging and thrilling task even for
the adventurers to climb Mera's summit, however the views on the way up
are truly spectacular! No doubt, the fun begins early on the journey --
long before we reach Mera Peak, and this is the ideal time for
adventure and discovery.
Island Peak Climbing (Imja Tse)
A magnificent circuit of the Everest region with a challenging ascent
of Island Peak (6189mt.) is a wonderful trek that takes us first of all
into the heart of the Khumbu as we follow in the footsteps of the great
Everest climbers through Namche Bazaar towards Everest Base Camp. An
ascent of Kalapatthar (5545m) is a good acclimatization and that gives
us magnificent close-up views of Everest.
Lobuche East Peak Climbing
Lobuche East (6,119mt.) and Lobuche West (6,145mt.) are popularly known
as ‘Lhauche’ among the Locals. This majestic summit rises above the
town of Lhauche which is just a few kilometer away from the Mt.
Everest. Lobuche consists of two different summits, east and west with
the height of 6119m and 6145m respectively. An unremitting rim holds
them together; however there is a distinct gap and a considerable
distance between these two summits.
