Lhakpa Ri Expedition
Mount Lhakpa Ri is the newly becoming famous expedition
in Tibet; and many climbers have been attracted these
days to this mountain climbing through Tibet side.
It divides the upper east Rombuk and Kharta glacier.
It is very close to Mount Everest and one feels as
equal to be climbed Mount Everest the moment, he reaches
on the top of this mountain.
It was first climb by George Mallory who was on his
way to the Everest Reconnaissance in 1921; and he
had seen its North Col.
Bill Tilman made the second ascent during his Everest
reconnaissance in 1936. The Third ascent made by French
Everest Summiteers Michelle Pelle in 1988. The Fourth
ascent by Ken Mc Connell in 1991 the present expedition
teams are also using these same routes as the previous
four expedition teams had used in the past.
The Expedition starts from Kathmandu- Zhangmu-Nyalam-Tingri
and Everest Base Camp (Lhakpa Ri Base camp) 5200m.
After that you have to spend a few days for acclimatization.
After this base camp, you should start your expedition
ahead towards the Middle camp 5780m, with the preparation
of loading yaks and expedition crews. Then you have
to take a night’s rest in this middle camp.
Continuing ahead to this track you reach at the Advance
Base camp, which is situated at the height of 6400m.
After this at this, point you may feel some altitude
sickness; and in case of this you should take a couple
of day’s rest there. After that climbing up
ahead you reach almost at the level of East Rombuk
Glacier to the Rophu La from where fantastic view
of Makalu & Kanchnjunga are seen. Then you get
a good look of your route up to the Lhakpa Ri.
From ABC, start early in the morning; and you should
go crossing the Rongbuk glacier. There are few crevasses
and slopes from the Rongbuk and Kharta glacier and
they are relatively low angled which are linked by
the Lhak Pa pass 6848m; and it is just to the North
of Lhakpa Ri until you reach at the very foot of the
slope, leading to you to the North ridge of the Summit.
The routes are 20 –30 degrees vertical elevations.
This route to climb is not so hard but the vertical
way is very long. You have use main rope with the
group of 4-6 climbers at this time here. Following
the way of the North ridge on the other side you see
Kharta glacier and the views of North Col of Everest.
The same way of the ridge leads up to the Summit of
Lhakpa Ri. From the Lhakpa Ri, a very beautiful views
of above the 8000m. High Mountains are envisioned;
and also the good panoramic views of small mountains
down below there can be seen.
After reaching the summits, on your way back you
can choose the different route to get down via Lhasa
the capital of old city of Tibet. And this new route
may give you another enthusiastic and charming feeing
inside you.
Climbing Sherpa for Himalayan:
We facilitate highly professional, well trained and
qualified climbing Sherpas for the your expeditions.
Many climbers avoid Sherpa guides for the climbing,
so because of this, they have been found to facing
many hindrances on their way. If you take Sherpas
along with you on the expedition, they are very useful
in your each and every step of support, which makes
your climbing easier to restore your strained energy;
and it gives you vigorous strength for your next day’s
climbing. Most of the groups, who have gone with the
Sherpa guides on the expedition, is found to be succeeded
as per our past experiences. So we suggest you to
operate your expeditions along with the Sherpa guides.
