Pharchamo

On the first day of our journey, our organization’s frontman picks you up from Tribhuwan International Airport (Kathmandu), where you will be warmly received and transferred by our private car to a tourist-vehicle.

After having our morning breakfast on the second day, we proceed to tour several historical places that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Following our exploration of these areas, we return to Kathmandu to finalize our trekking equipment (trekking boots, down jackets, sleeping bags, ropes, harness, Ice ax, Crampons, and many other items) that will be needed during our future trek, and we spend this night at the same hotel.

We will leave Kathmandu today and travel to Gongor Khola. The picturesque drive provides breathtaking views of the surrounding natural treasures as well as the daily lives of the locals. The drive to Gongor Khola, the starting site of the trek, takes about eight hours.

We begin our trip at Gongor Khola, following a track that crosses the main path before ascending and descending through a dense forest of rhododendron, oaks, and pine trees. We’ll continue walking along the riverbank before crossing the suspension bridge and climbing a difficult incline to the settlement of Simigaun, which is mostly populated by Sherpas.

We’ll continue on the trail from Simigaun, passing through more Sherpa settlements. We continue on the trail, which leads through a beautiful pine forest before climbing onto a rocky ridge, with wonderful views of Gaurishankar just above the Rolwaling Valley. From the top of the ridge, we’ll descend gradually to Rolwaling Khola and finally to Dovan.

We’ll travel along the Rolwaling Khola’s bank after leaving Dovan. We take a trek through a lush forest of rhododendron and pine trees, with spectacular views of Gaurishankar. We will slowly ascend to an open region where the Sherpa settlement of Beding is located after crossing the suspension bridge.

We’ll have a short and easy trekking day today. We’ll make an easy gradient through the fir trees from Beding. We continue our trip to Na Village as the valley gets broader and flatter. Na is a dispersed settlement with numerous tea places and decent camping opportunities.

Acclimatization is critical at higher elevations. As a result, we’ll rest for a day at Na Village to acclimate. Furthermore, Na offers a few good day hikes. We can travel up the valley to a little Kharka and then follow the trail to Yalung Peak Base Camp, which takes about five hours round trip. Alternatively, we can hike to the end of Tsho Rolpa Lake for views of Kang Nachago above Na, which will take four hours.

Our hike begins with a steady ascent to a bridge across the Tsho Rolpa outflow. We take the main trail to the south, which ascends an ablation valley. We travel past Chhukyima on the route, where there are a couple of tea shops run by Na Village residents. Continuing on our path, we reach the valley’s end and ascend a steep incline for a spectacular view of the lake and surrounding peaks. From there, we descend gradually to Kabuk.

We start early today because our trail passes via a glacier crossing, which is best done before the sun rises. We cross the plateau to the glacier’s far eastern corner before descending a loose earth route to Trakarding Glacier’s southern border. The trail ascends from here to the northern side of the glacier. Once on the north side, we follow the trail to the Drolambu Glacier’s snout.

We get an early start for the difficult Tashi Lapcha Pass crossing. We climb a natural ramp that leads to the pass crossing, following the track that crosses over the glacier. The pass is a rocky ridge that is frequently covered with snow and freezing. From the top of the pass, we enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding peaks. The high camp is located about 100 meters below the peak, beneath an overhanging rock face.

Acclimatization is critical for a successful ascent to Parchamo Peak’s top. A lack of acclimation might result in any type of mental or physical illness. As a result, we will spend today preparing for the summit of Parchamo Peak the following day.

Today is the day we’ve been looking forward to. We’ll get an early start with the goal of reaching the top before lunchtime, as high gusts in the afternoon can make climbing the summit difficult. We’ll hike northeast through the scree beneath Tengi Ragi Tau’s rock face. We will climb the snow slopes over the crest and negotiate several tough portions before reaching the top, following in the footsteps and instructions of our experienced climbing specialists. We are rewarded with spectacular views of Cho Oyu, Amadablam, Thamserku, Kusum Kangaru, and other neighboring mountains as we reach the summit. We’ll descend and return to Ngole after spending some quality time at the peak.

Following the trail that descends from the steep slopes of Ngole after reaching the peak of Parchamo Peak. We’ll keep descending rapidly till we reach Thyangbo Kharka. There are a few tea houses and decent camping spots in Thyangbo Kharka.

We take an easy two-hour trek from Thyangbo Kharka to Thame. We travel along the Bhote-Khosi River route from Thame. We continue on our journey by crossing a bridge over the Dudh Koshi as we descend softly towards Phunki Tenga. The road passes through various villages and teahouses before arriving in Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital.

The final day of our journey takes us from Namche Bazaar to Lukla via Monjo. Except for a few short uphill climbs and then down to the Bhote-Koshi River, which is crossed three times, the journey is pleasant. We will arrive in Lukla for our overnight stay after a 45-minute steep journey.

We’ll fly back to Kathmandu early the next morning from Lukla. After a successful summit ascent of Parchamo Peak, take a spectacular mountain flight.

You’re bound to want to see as much of Kathmandu as possible. Visiting Kathmandu’s temples requires an early start. Walking around Thamel’s shopping district is another worthwhile way to spend time in Kathmandu. In the evening, we’ll enjoy one last lunch together. We organize a farewell dinner in a familiar neighborhood restaurant, where you may experience Nepalese ethnic dance and music while dining on delectable Nepalese cuisine.

Today, our representative will drop you at the International Airport as per your flight schedule.
