The wild side. The Kharta valley is tucked into the eastern side of Mount Everest, with most people visiting the region to view the wild side of Everest, the seldom seen Kangshung face. We will visit Kharta valley on this trek, and then head for a first ascent of a 6000m peak just above, completing the trip with a visit to unique Lhasa, the ancient capital of Tibet. All in 3 weeks. Join us.

From a guest:
“Just want to thank you again for looking after us on the recent trek and making sure we had everything…I had a great great time and experience with you all.”
-L. Tanpian, Indonesia – 2014 Pangong Peaks Exploratory

 

Cost Effective. Full Service. This peak climbing trek will be fully stocked with a variety of meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with snacks. Each member will have their own roomy 2 person Mountain Hardwear tent (4 person tent for couples). Meals are oatmeal, eggs, muesli, fruit, and tea/coffee for breakfast. Lunches are fresh fruit, salads, fresh bread (made each morning), cheeses, pasta/rice, cookies, and juice. Dinners are usually 3 to 4 dishes, with pasta or rice. Occasionally, we will have pizza and other western treats. The dining tent is set up with buy ativan by wyeth each member having their own camp chair, books pertinent to the trek/climb, maps, solar charging for electronics, and snacks as you would like them when we arrive to camps.

First Ascent? For many of the peaks in Tibet there are no records of prior ascents. We also oftentimes find no evidence of other humans visiting the summits of peaks before. Instead of looking at these peaks as our being the first to put bootprints on the summit, we like to simply enjoy the solitude of the region.

Trust. Climbing a peak at 6000 meters is no place to be short on resources. We make the proper advance preparations to ensure that our team will be properly cared for, from airport to summit to airport.
