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.
Langtang Ganjala
18 Days (13 days trek)
Trip No. SR137
Grade: D
Max. Altitude: 5,106m
Helambu, about 75 km north of Kathmandu, is area inhabited by Sherpas. You can include Helambu in a Langtang trek, either via Gosainkund or across the 5106 meters Ganja La. In winter both of the high routes from Langtang are usually snow covered and dangerous, difficult or impossible. The Helambu trek is popular because it is short, stays below 3500 meters and is feasible all winter. It is an easy trek to organize because transport from Kathmandu to Sundarijal, the starting point of the trek, is readily available and inexpensive.
The language, culture and dress of the Helambu Sherpas are very different from the Solu Khumbu Sherpas. The accessibility of Helambu has creat an influx of tourist who have encouraged begging, the sale of 'genuine antiques' aged over the family fire place, and the several incident of thievery. It takes 8 days to trek from Kathmandu to Helambu and back, or 13-14 days to include both Langtang and Helambu in a single trek without any backtracking.
The Jugal himal are the group of mountains north- east of KTM boarding Tibet, including such peak as Dorji Lhakpa ( 6975m), Gyalgen [6705 m], and Phurbi Gyachu [6722 m]. The area immediately south of these mountains offers a cross-section of Nepal. Himalayan vistas, sacred lakes, holy shrines, isolated Sherpa and Tamang villages together with untouched forest and total remoteless from other trekking routes. Jugal Himal is suitable for all reasons but is best on the autumnor late spring. Within easy reach of Kathmandu this is an excellent 16 day trek that can be extended up to 20 days.
