Ramdung Peak Climbing.

“Climbing Ramdung Peak in Nepal is a challenging trek. From here, you’ll get a magnificent view of the Himalayan mountains, including Mount Everest. If you are looking for an adventurous challenge, this is a great trek for you.”

 

The Ramdung Peak Climbing and Tashi Labtsa pass, separate Khumbu and the enormous Rolwaling Valley. It is south of Ramdung Peak (5925 m), which is located there. Crossing the pass into the remote Rolwaling valley will bring you to the seldom peak of Ramdung. Your journey to this “hidden peak” of the Himalayan wilderness begins with a trek into the Rolwaling Valley. Especially which has only recently become accessible to trekkers. Even though Lower Ramdung is lower in elevation than Parchamo it is more difficult for Ramdung Peak Climbing and requires two high camps along the northeastern face route.

 

After 5 hours of driving from Kathmandu to Dolakha on the highway to Tibet. So you will leave civilization behind and head towards the tranquillity of the mountains in the hidden land of Rolwaling Valley. Beautiful pine and rhododendron forests, high alpine valleys, traditional, undeveloped rural villages, and charming alpine passes are all along the route. Similarly, you can see farm fields, alpine pastures, and highland villages against the backdrop of Mt. Gaurishankar, which straddles the border with Tibet. The trail leads to the area’s final town, Rolwaling at Bedding. The adventurous journey continues further east to scale the 5,925-meter Ramdung Peak.

 

Even though the climb is not technically difficult, the elevation and remoteness make it difficult. A standard warm-up for the 6000-meter Rolwaling Peak is to climb Ramdung in the Rolwaling Himal. The North Glacier and North Ridge are the main ascent routes. Climbing this peak only requires basic snowshoeing abilities.  The path is not steep, but it is quite long. Many mountains, including Everest, Melungtse, Gaurishankar, and many other mountain panoramas, offer Ramdung Peak. After the climb, one more adventure awaits: crossing the 5,755-foot mountain range. Tashi Laptsa passes.

 

The crossing takes at least two days. After crossing the pass, a long descent to Thame Valley leads to the village of Thame in the Khumbu area of the Everest Region. The trek then continues to the top of the Khumbu Valley, alongside the Dudh Kosi River. On the way, there are many small villages and monasteries to explore. Finally, the trail leads to Everest Base Camp. A scenic day walk from Namche takes you to Lukla for the last camp.  And the panoramic flight back to the busy city of Kathmandu.

 

 

 

The tour officially begins when you touch down in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Many of the well-known trekking treks that travel north begin in this place. At Tribhuvan International Airport, a representative from our company will meet you and transport you to the hotel. A warm welcome and delicious Nepali food will be provided. You will receive further information in the evening.

We will go on a half-day sightseeing tour to some of Kathmandu's most well-known locations, some of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as today is the day we get ready for our hike. Our ancient royals lived at Durbar Square. The Pashupatinath temple is highly regarded by a lot of Hindus. The Swayambhunath, popularly known as the Monkey Temple, and the Boudhanath Temple, one of the largest stupas in the world,

Following breakfast, we take a bus from Kathmandu (1350 m) to Dolakha (1660 m), passing through Lamosangu (750 m) and Charikot (1980 m). Lie back and enjoy the camp.

Today, we hike from Jagat to Chetchet along the west bank of the Tama Koshi, where we see a beautiful waterfall. After nearly an hour of descent, we begin our second ascent to Simigaon. Then we ascend slowly to the lodge. We could view Mount Gaurishanker better from this village.

Along the trek starting from Simi Gaun, one may view the Sherpa settlements. Different plant varieties and Rhododendron trees abound on the ascending journey. Once you've reached the top, you'll find pathways that climb and descend while you take in the beautiful panorama of the surroundings. If the conditions are good, you might see a yak and a Nak that are only there to produce cheese and butter.

The trail ascends from here via various plant species and rhododendron trees. This adventure includes traversing suspension bridges over deep gorges, which adds to its charm. You ultimately reach Bedding, a large Sherpa village.

We will go to Na from Bedding, a region abounding by the stunning grandeur of the surrounding high scenery and snow-capped peaks. To get acclimated to it, we have to trek the full way up to Na Gaun. We can view the beautiful Chobutse 6,689-meter peak rising over the Tsho Rolpa Lake and Trakarding glaciers from this settlement.

On the ground covered in white ice all around, the hike ascends steep glacier walks using crampons and ice sacks. You will spend the night at Yalung Glacier High Camp.

You continue climbing past Yalung Danda to the trail that leads to Base Camp, where you then face a challenging ascent. You travel by way of the stony glacier. You may take in a variety of vistas of mountains, including Gauri Shanker, Menlung, Yalung, and the Tibetan Himalayas.

You may have a full day of rest at your camp today after a strenuous hike. You can explore the nearby places during the day. Today, you could also learn how to use your gear during the climb. Lie back and unwind at the camp.

We get up early in the morning to see the sunlight reflecting off the snow-covered mountains. We will pass across the Ramding La Pass, which is 5665 meters high and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountain ranges. As we reach the high camp, the excitement for the summit the next day grows. The guides will also go over what to do and what not to do as we make our way to the summit. High Camp will be a tent camp for the night.

You will start your journey to the summit of Ramdung Peak this morning after a very early morning wake-up call. The peak is reached by climbing up the steep, rocky platform. After a difficult climb, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of Everest (8848.86 meters), Gaurishankar (7134 meters), and Melungtse (7181 meters), as well as a wide variety of other mountain ranges and several glaciers. You'll feel an immense sense of exhilaration when reaching the top of this mountain. After snapping a few photos, you'll begin your descent to stunning Tso Rolpa, a high-altitude glacial lake that provides a breathtaking perspective of the Langtang Himal (7227 m), Pachermo Himal (6273 m), and other mountains.

Today, after successfully ascending Ramdung Peak, you'll continue into the Khumbu area. Your walk today begins early since it must traverse a glacier, and it is advisable to do so before the sun rises. Before descending a rocky route to the southern border of Trakarding Glacier, you must cross the plateau to the area east of the glacier. From here, the route ascends to reach the glacier's northern side. You'll take the path that goes to the Drolambu Glacier's snout after you've reached the north side.

You'll start your walk to Tashi Lapsa Phedi after an early breakfast. You will climb a natural ramp up to the pass by staying on the path that crosses the glacier. The pass is a rocky ridge that is frequently snowy and ice-covered. From the top of the pass, we will get amazing views of the surrounding peaks. From the peak, we descend gradually till we arrive at the Tashi Lapcha Phedi.

Today you will cross Tashi Laptsa Pass after an early breakfast. You will hike up to Tashi Lapcha's peak. The main trekking path will be used for the next 5 to 6 hours of the walk to get to the Tashi Lapcha pass, which is located at an elevation of 5755 meters above sea level. After the pass, you will descend to Thengbo while taking in the stunning scenery.

Today, after breakfast, you'll set out on a two-hour easy hike towards Thame before continuing on to Namche. You'll take the Bhote Khosi River trek from Thame. You'll continue on our path, passing a bridge over Dudh Koshi before gradually descending near Phunki Tenga. Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital, is eventually reached after passing through a number of villages and teahouses along the way.

You will hike to Lukla, the entrance to Khumbu, after eating breakfast in Namche. Our final day of hiking takes us from Monjo to Phakding and then on to Lukla. Except for a few brief climbs uphill and a descent to the Bhote-Koshi River, which you will cross three times, the journey will be enjoyable. We will go 45 minutes farther uphill to reach Lukla, where we will spend the night. With your trekking group, you may also have fun on your last day in Lukla.

Today is the day when we leave the Khumbu area. The earliest domestic flight to Kathmandu is what we'll take. While staying in a hotel in Thamel, you will get ready for your confined state. Additionally, you may buy stuff from the shop. Drinks and Nepali cuisine are welcome. You may also enjoy city life by visiting pubs or clubs.
