Mt. Kanchenjunga Expedition
Kanchenjunga (8,586) is the third highest mountain in the world. It is an enormous mountain-mass and many satellite peaks rise from its narrow icy ridges. It is located on the border of Nepal and Sikkim, just 46 miles northwest of Darjeeling. It is the most easterly of the great 8,000-meter peaks of the Himalaya.
70 Days ( 40 days climbing expedition, 3 days on drive, 18 days caravan trek, 9 days in Kathmandu)
Trip No. SR: 189
Max. Altitude: 8,586m / 28,142ft
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.
Everest Alpine (Island Peak)
20 Days (15 days Lodge trek and 2 days camping trek)
Trip No. SR140
Grade: B
Max. Altitude: 6100m/20300 ft.
We begin with the shorts flight to Lukla and two days of easy walking to Namche Bazaar. There is time to explore this magnificent valley towards the fourth and fifth lake and summit some of the nameless peaks for the best view of Everest. Our camp at Gorakship [5160 m] allows time to walk up to Kalapathar [5545 m] for views of Everest's southwest face, Lhotse, Nuptse and Khumbu ice fall. After warming up with a trek to Gokyo and Kalapathar, we will attempt a non-technical ascent of Mt. Imja Tse [Island Peak], southeast of Everest, from which one can see Kanchanjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, Baruntse and other countless small peaks.
Our unique itinerary takes you into the high valleys of the Khumbu region, providing magnificent views of Khumbu Peaks as you acclimatized for the trekking ahead. We have the opportunity of conquering Imja Tse (Island Peak) [6160 m], which is well within the capabilities of any fit and determined hill walker. It can be demanding and it requires some basic climbing experience. The trek descends through the Khumbu classic route via Tyangbuche, Namche, then Lukla.
