Kyajori Peak Climbing

After having morning breakfast we’ll go to have a short sightseeing of major UNESCO listed world heritage sites in Kathmandu. Then we’ll have a short briefing session and you can start preparing for the trek.

You will board a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. After arriving in Lukla, we will begin our trek by hiking up to Phakding. Along the way, we will pass through several villages and trek through rhododendron forests.

As we trek, we will follow the trail through a pine forest and cross the Dudh Koshi River. Then, we will reach the entrance to the Everest National Park. Continuing on, we will arrive at Namche Bazaar, a renowned Sherpa village. From Namche Bazaar, we will have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Mount Everest and Mount Lhotse. We will spend the night in Namche Bazaar.

We spend one day in Namche Bazaar to acclimatize to the high altitude. The main market area offers a glimpse into traditional Sherpa culture, with local tea houses, restaurants, shops, and trading areas to explore. Optional hikes to Sagarmatha National Park provide stunning views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and other peaks, as well as the chance to spot rare flora and fauna. We retire to a hotel in Namche Bazaar for a good night's sleep.

After a day of rest and exploration in Namche Bazaar, we continue our journey by following the western trail that leads up the Bhote Khosi Valley, which was once a busy trade route to Tibet. Along the way, we'll be treated to stunning views of Kwangde Peak on our left and pass by beautiful cascading waterfalls. We'll trek through lush rhododendron forests and take a right turn just before reaching Thamo village. A steep ascent lasting about an hour will lead us to the quaint hamlet of Mende, where we'll spend the night.

Today we start from the beautiful village of Mende and head towards Kyajori Base Camp. You can explore the surroundings in the evening  while you wait for the exciting day ahead.

Today is the Acclimatization day as we’ll be reaching very high altitude region. You can explore the Base Camp and take rest as we’ll be heading towards even higher altitude tomorrow.

After enjoying a well-deserved day of rest at Base Camp, we resume our uphill trek to even higher altitudes. Our path takes us over grassy spurs and boulders, and then onto a steep rocky trail that leads us to an excellent camping site at 5,200 meters. This is where we'll set up our first camp, surrounded by stunning views of Kyajo Ri Peak and pristine glacial lakes. We'll spend the night at Camp I before continuing our ascent to even higher elevations.

Taking another day's rest for acclimatization is crucial to ensure a successful summit climb and avoid any mental or physical sickness that may result from altitude sickness. Today, we will remain at Camp I and take part in some gentle hikes that offer excellent opportunities for acclimatization while taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding high peaks. Our team will conduct health checks and make sure that all our climbing equipment is in top condition for a successful ascent of Kyajo Ri Peak.

Following a successful acclimatization day at Camp I, we continue our journey to even higher altitudes. Today's climb involves technical sections over rocks and glaciers, which will require us to use fixed ropes and crampons. After several hours of strenuous ascent, we will arrive at a great camping spot located near a large glacial lake at an elevation of 5,700 meters. Upon reaching our campsite, our skilled Sherpa crew will swiftly set up camp and begin preparing for the final summit climb, which is scheduled for the following day.

Today is the day we've all been eagerly anticipating - the final climb to the summit of Kyajo Ri Peak. With our gear properly packed and our bodies acclimatized to the high altitude, we set out early in the morning with the goal of reaching the summit before noon. The strong winds that typically pick up in the afternoon can pose a significant obstacle, making it difficult or even impossible to reach the summit. Under the guidance of our experienced climbing experts, we navigate through several challenging technical sections and make our way towards the sharp peak of Kyajo Ri. Our strenuous climb is rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the world's most towering mountains, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Baruntse, Ama Dablam, and other high peaks in the surrounding area. We take a brief moment to savor our achievement before beginning our descent along the same route and returning to Camp II.

We head back to Kyajo Ri and stay there for the night as we’ll be descending back to Namche tomorrow

Today we’ll descend back to Namche Bazaar. You can enjoy the local foods and beverages of Namche and also enjoy the local culture during your stay.

We take a rocky trail downhill towards the Dudh Koshi River, crossing it and heading to Lukla via Monjo (Sagarmatha National Park entry and exit point). We walk downhill, crossing a suspension bridge over Bhote Koshi river, and continue to Phakding. From there, we ascend the trail until we reach Lukla. We rest our weary bodies and spend the night in a lodge.

We take a flight back to Kathmandu and upon arrival, have the option to explore the city and do some souvenir shopping. We organize a farewell dinner to celebrate the successful completion of the trek and exchange final greetings and wishes as you prepare for your final departure.

Today is the final day of your Kyajori Peak Climbing, and we prepare for our departure. We provide transportation to drop you off at the Tribhuvan International Airport. We exchange final farewells and hope to see each other again in the future. We wish you a pleasant journey and have a safe flight!!!.
