trip Overview
Kwangde Ri Climbing (6011m), towering above the Bhote Koshi and lying to the southwest of Namche Bazaar. It is an arduous mountain to climb despite its altitude. Successful Kwangde ascents are small in number due to the difficulties associated with its summitry. Standing near the entrance of the Everest region, Kwangde Ri has spectacular, multiple summits.
The laborers in the Kwangde climb are rewarded partly by the magnificent panorama of Sherpa villages and Himalayan peaks to be had from the summit, and partly by the unique trek in the rarely trekked Lumding valley. Just at the rear of the sometimes crowded Everest region, Lumding is an unexplored, untrodden Himalayan valley with its pristine charm awaiting you to uncover. As the Kwangde climb is a serious mountaineering adventure; you can also use hone your skills and fitness for the larger mountaineering expedition.
First climbed in 1975 A. D., Kwangde Ri has also been conquering from the southern and the northern face as well. The northern face is more difficult than the southern one, requiring the use of advanced mountaineering techniques. Conventional methods can be used in its glacier-worn southern slope. Come and experience the least explored Kwangde Ri climbing. Create some great memories.
