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.
Jumla and Rara Trek
17 Days (10 days trek)
Trip No. SR145
Grade: A
Max. Altitude: 3040m
Rara lake ( 2980 m.) is the foal point of Rara Lake National Park and is a good destination for a trek in western Nepal. The route is very much 'off the beaten track' and affords glimpses of cultures and scenery very different from that in the rest of Nepal. Rara is a clear, high altitude lake ringed with pine, spruce and juniper orests and snowcapped Himalayan peaks. In winter there is often snow on the ridge surrounding the lake. Except for the army assigned to the park, nobody lives at the lake because the government resettled all the people of Rara and Chapra villages when they are was declared a national park. The trek to Rara is somewhat strenuous and tends to be expensive because both food and labour are scarce and overpriced in this part of Nepal. If you are looking for wilderness solitude and can overcome the logistical complications of the region, this trek is good choice.
