This trek is strenuous; therefore a high level of physical fitness
is essential. A b sense of adventure, and the willingness to walk 8
to 9 hours a day, often at high altitudes adds to the excitement. A
basic knowledge of mountain climbing is an advantage, although our experienced
Sherpa guides will guide and accompany you to the top.
Ramdung Peak (5935m) is situated south of the Tesilabtsa pass, which
borders Khumbu and the immense Rolwaling valley. Crossing the pass into
the remote valley of Rolwaling takes you to the rarely climbed peak
of Ramdung. Your climb of this ‘hidden peak’ of the Himalayan wilderness
begins with a trek into the Rolwaling valley, just recently opened to
trekkers. You first make an ascent up lower Ramdung, which, despite
its lack of height compared to Parchamo, offers a challenging climb,
requiring two high camps on the northeast face route.
Following the Trekking glacier, you arrive near the Tesilabtsa pass
and prepare for the climb to Parchamo and establishing a high camp.
Climbing Parchamo, following its northwest ridge leads on to Ramdung
summit. After the summit, you trek through the famous Sherpa country
of Khumbu, ending your trip in Lukla, from where you will board a plane
to come back to Kathmandu.
