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.
Rolwaling Valley and Khumbu
24 days (19 days trek)
Trip No. SR133
Grade: C
Max. altitude 5756m/18,876ft
The Rolwaling valley is closed to the Tibetan boarder between the Tamba Koshi and the Khumbu Himal area north-east of Kathmandu. Closed to trekkers for many years it has now been reopened to those who hold a climbing permit for Ramdung Go, a trekking peak. It is one of the forbidden valleys of Sherpa lore, and can only be entered via the village of Simigaon. There are a variety of routes to Simigaon, from Khumbu over the glaciated Tashi Laptsa Pass, or more commonly from either Charikot on the Jiri road or from Barabise on the road to the Chinese boarder. Extensive dense forests, stunning views of Gaurishankar, moraine landscapes, ice lakes, unexplored glaciers and unnamed peaks higher up make this valley ideal for those with a real taste for adventure.
