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.
Around Dhaulagiri Trek
22 Days (16 days trek)
Trip No. SR134
Grade: C
Max. Altitude: 5256m/17056ft
Dhaulagiri soars 8167m and is the seventh highest peak in the world, standing alone above the great Kaligandaki Valley in central west Nepal. This valley is the deepest on earth as it is flanked by two 8000m peaks Daulagiri I and Annapurna I. This trek offers breathtaking views of Daulagiri's massive south face as well as the chance to explore the remote valleys hidden away behind its bulk.
You head out through exquisite forests of pine, Rhododendron and fir to emerge on the Kaphe Glacier, from where you climb up and over French Pass 5240m. You descend into the wild and untravelled valleys beyond where bharal ( blue sheep) can sometimes still be seen in summer. The route then takes you over the Thapa La Pass 5250m, with exceptional views of the great Kali Gandaki Gorge, before the steep descend into the valley and the return walk to Pokhara.
This is a most challenging trek but your effort is well rewarded. In three weeks we will circle Dhaulagiri reaching valleys little known to locals let alone foreigners! From Nepal's middle hills we ascend along the Marsyangdi River through its ever-narrowing valley. Reaching alpine terrain at 3600 m we will find the upper Marsyangdi Glacier surrounded on all side to the east, Dhaulagiri 1 [8167 m], to the west, more of Dhaulagiri's six ice-clad summits, and to the north, Tuckche peak [6851 m].
Crossing French Col [(5100 m) named by Maurice Herzog's famous French expedition of 1950] we drop into Hidden Valley, home to Nepal's famed blue sheep and a rare miniature rhododendron. Descending via Dhampus pass, we are treated with views that reveal the massive scale of the Kali Gandaki George.
