Overview

Pachermo Peak Climbing - 20 Days

Pachermo Peak Climbing is the most visited, more challenging and most demanded trekking peak in the Rolwaling region. The trek leads you via the Tashi captcha pass, & Khumbu Himalayan trails. The Pachermo peak (6,187m/20293ft) lies south of Tesi Lapcha surrounded by various attractive mountains. 

Pachermo Peak Climbing Trip Overview:

The effort to reach the summit of the peak will be truly rewarded with some of the most fantastic views from anywhere in Nepal. You get to witness the Tibetan Buddhist presence with chortens, monasteries, distinct architecture, and fluttering prayer flags. As the peak is demanding peak, the climb asks for technical knowledge at the summit. 

The Rolwaling Valley is the main attraction and way to access Pachermo. Under the rock wall, we will make 5,500 meters high camp after climbing northeast of the Tesi Lapcha. Nepal Vision will create some different experiences during your lifetime in Nepal.

Very rarely, but it could happen even in the best trekking season also as you know how climate changes affect our world. Thus, we always recommend you add supplement night/s in Kathmandu after your trek if possible (just in case). If everything runs smoothly, you can enjoy other activities like sightseeing, White water rafting, wildlife activities, and shopping, as you wish on those additional days. However, if you want heli rescue in the state of flight cancellation to/from Lukla-we can organize it as per your request with extra cost.

day
9

Trek to Na (4,200m) 5-6 hrs

5-6 Hrs Tea House To Na 3 Meals
Most residents of Rolwaling are Sherpa yak herders who are only able to grow potatoes and turnips. We will have some appreciation of their hardy existence as we will ascend the valley to the summer grazing settlement of Na. Trekking at an easy pace to ensure good acclimatization, we will make our way along an easy trail beside the river. The vegetation in this place is mostly small shrubs, grasses, and some juniper and birch. Our alpine views will span out as we approach the camp. If we are fortunate, we will have them with us for the next three or four days before a change of scenery. Chobuje, Kang Nachugo, Chekigo, Bamongo, Dorje Phagmo to name a few. Na is the last substantial settlement before we reach Khumbu over the past. We will spend the afternoon in a relaxed environment familiarizing ourselves with the climbing equipment and organizing ourselves for the challenges ahead.
day
10

Trek to Tso Rolpa camp (4,500m) 5-6 hrs

5-6 Hrs Tea House Tso Rolpa camp 3 Meals
Depending on snow conditions, we will be walking to our lake camp that'll be relatively easy. The path is fairly level, curving to the east and leading towards the Trakarding Glacier. Two fine mountains feed the glacier at the head of the valley and may be seen as we approach the camp. A ten-minute walk from camp up the lateral moraine provides a spectacular view of Tso Rolpa, which is also one of the largest glacial lakes in Nepal. Looking back, we will have a superb view of Kang Nachugo and a glimpse of Melungtse in Tibet.
day
11

Trek to Trakarding Glacier and Beach Camp (4,700m) 6-7 hrs

6-7 Hrs Tent Beach Camp 3 Meals
We will have a full and challenging day as we will be ascending and crossing the moraine toward the pass. The weather may be quite changeable and the rocks on the moraine are often loose necessitating concentration and keeping a steady pace as a group. The camp will be usually made near the base of the Drolambau Glacier with stunning views to the south and east in particular. [Note: Our itinerary is flexible while crossing the pass, and it may be influenced by many factors such as weather, glacier and snow conditions, and the progress of the group and crew/porters.] Your leader will have complete control of setting the schedule to maintain safety for all members of the expedition and to achieve the trip objectives in the smoothest and most efficient.
day
12

Crossing Teshi Labsta Camp / Pachermo Base Camp (5,700m) 4-5 hrs

4-5 Hrs Tent Pachermo Base Camp 3 Meals
Again, the weather, snow, and glacier conditions will play a large part in how difficult the route will be. Leaving the Trakarding Glacier behind, we will climb up steadily through several rock and ice gullies to reach the snout of the Drolambau Glacier where we will be treated to a superb new vista of mountains. They will extend the full length of the Drolambau. Few of these peaks have been climbed, nor do they have a formal name, and they are not open to foreigners. It is one of the least accessible parts of the Nepal Himalayas. We will need to make a long, steady trek along the rock/snow Drolambau glacier and then up crevassed snow slopes to the pass. Several sections usually require some scrambling on rock and ice, and if necessary we will fix a rope as a handrail. Our staff will work closely with team members to make a safe passage for all. We will enjoy the thrill of being where we are after getting to the pass. We will be sandwiched between two fabulous regions and mountain ranges. It is also the last view we will have to the west before descending to Khumbu. We must take care as we will make a route down firstly through snow and then mainly loose rock and scree to the moraine plateau below. At base camp, we will be able to pull out all our climbing gear. We have to sort, check it and rehearse and revise techniques we will use on the climb. Your guide will coordinate these activities to ensure everyone is completely conversant in procedures and correctly equipped. It will only be necessary to take personal gear for the climb with you. Any group gear, such as food, fuel, and group climbing equipment/ropes, etc will be carried up by some of our porters and staff. The remainder of the gear will be stored at the base camp where some of our staff will also stay until our return.
day
13

Trek from the Base camp to the high camp

3-4 Hrs Tent high camp 3 Meals
From the base camp of Phachermo base camp, we will make our journey towards the high camp of the peak. The climbing way will be little rough as it goes all the way through the snow-covered regions.  We will walk for several hours today to complete our destination of the day. The night will be at high camp at the tented camp.
day
14

Ascent of Mt. Pachermo (6,187m) & return to the base camp

8-9 Hrs Tent Base camp 3 Meals
We will have a very early start as our plan will be to summit and return to base in one day. We will make our summit push from Teshi Laptsa camp, ascending the broad north ridge on the main rope at a relatively easy angle. There are a couple of small ice walls that we will have to negotiate before reaching the narrow ridge below the summit. Some pitches are likely to be fixed. We will get the views across the Khumbu Valley and back down the Rolwaling are spectacular. We will return to our high camp on Teshi Laptsa and if time permits we will descend further off the glacier down the valley.
day
15

Trek back to Ngole

6-7 Hrs Tent Ngole 3 Meals
From the base camp of the Phachermo peak, we will trek towards the Ngole. The trek while returning towards the Ngole will be much fun as we will be viewing the glorious view of the surroundings. The trek will continue for about 5 to 6 hours through the main trail which will take us to an altitude of 5,110m above sea level.
day
16

Trek to Thame (3,800m) 4-5 hrs

4-5 Hrs Tea House Thame 3 Meals
We will descend the glacier and moraine to grassy meadows where yaks are often grazing which will also be our first signs of civilization for some days. Before us, we will have an amazing view of the mountains of Thamserku, Kang Taiga, and Ama Dablam forming a spectacular horizon, whilst Teng Kangpoche and Kwangde Ri rise directly beside us to the south. It is only a short walk to Thame, a large Sherpa village at the junction of the Bhote Khosi. Thame has the oldest and most respected gompa in Khumbu and is the birthplace of Tensing Norgay. 
day
17

Trek to Namche Bazaar (3,440m) 4-5 hrs

4-5 Hrs Tea House Namche Bazaar 3 Meals
Our program will be somewhat flexible for the return journey to Lukla. We should have some spare time available to take a leisurely pace and camp where we please. Namche is the principal town in Khumbu, and it is an opportunity to explore the markets and watch the activity. We may stop here, in a lodge above the town. We will continue on our way, down the valley to Monjo.
day
18

Trek to Lukla (2,800m) 5-6 hrs

5-6 Hrs Tea House Lukla 3 Meals
We will descend the slopes of Namche to the Dudh Kosi joining the main trail to follow at the riverside through numerous villages to Phakding. On crossing the bridge, we will trek a short distance up and around, to the broad flat spur that Lukla lies upon. We will set up camp on the green slopes at the lower end of the runway. The last night will be a memorable night for an end-of-trip celebration with all the crew and porters.
