Mt. Lhotse Expedition
Lhotse (8,501) is the fourth highest mountain in the world. Its long east-west crest is located immediately south of Mount Everest and the summits of the two mountains are connected by the South Col, a vertical ridge that never drops below 8,000 meters. Lhotse is sometimes mistakenly identified as the south peak of the Everest massif. No serious attention was turned to climbing Lhotse until after Everest had finally been ascended. Lhotse was first climbed in 1956 by two Swiss, fritz Luchsinger and Ernest Reiss.
Mt. Makalu Expedition
Makalu (8,475) is the fifth highest mountain in the world. It is an isolated peak, located just 14 miles east of Mount Everest. Its size alone is impressive, but its structure, that of a perfect pyramid with four sharp ridges, make this mountain all the more spectacular.
It has proved to be a challenging climb, as only five of its first sixteen attempts were successful. Previously, it had been admired and studied by several Everest parties, but like so many other giants in Khumbu region, it was not attempted until the summit of Everest had been attained in 1954.
Mt. Cho-Oyu Expedition
Cho Oyu (8,201) is the sixth highest mountain in the world, located a short distance to the west from Everest and Lhotse (the fourth highest) in the Khumbu region of Eastern Nepal along the Tibetan border. Its towering peak stands with Everest well above the surrounding mountains. It became a familiar landmark to climbers ascending Everest's north face. Just west of Cho Oyu is the Nangpa La, a 19,000-foot glacier pass, and the main trade route between the khumbu Sherpas and Tibet.
Bardia National Prak
Trip No. SR154
Grade: B
The Royal Bardia National Park is spread over 968 sq.km and located in the western Nepal Terai. It is easily the largest and least disturbed wilderness spread in the Terai, and is predominantly sal forest sprinkled with tall grasslands. It is bound on the north by the Chure hills and is skirted on the west by the Geruwa river. It is here that your chances of spotting a tiger in Nepal are the highest. Other animals include the rhinoceros, swamp deer, leopards, jungle cats, blue bulls, sloth bear, barking deer, and langurs. There are a few wild elephants, and one of the male is considered the largest in Asia.
The Geruwa river that rushes in through a break in the range, is home to the famous mahseer game fish, gharial, mugger crocodile and the freshwater Gangetic dolphin. The park also has cobras, kraits and pythons. The park boasts more than 250 species of birds, including the endangered Bengal florican, Sarus crane and many species of geese, ducks and parakeets. The activities include jungle safari on elephant back, walks, boat rides and jeep drives. The best time to visit is from October-March.
