Officially opened for climbing only in 2002, Kyajo Ri Ascent offers a fine option for the mountaineers all around the world who seek to have an exciting, adventurous climbing experience, but who do not want to put themselves into too much strain and risk by trying the mountains over 8,000 meters. With experienced mountaineers grading its climbing in par with Ama Dablam Ascent, it is a technical peak but not in the extreme. While porters can be expected to help the climbers as far as the second high camp at 5700 meters, the climbers themselves need to have the experience of climbing on crampons and on steep snow and ice as well as mixed terrain. As there are no taller mountains in its close neighborhood, your moments on its summit make it worth all the hardships, all stress and strain involved in attempting it.

Kyajo Ri has been climbed from Southwestern Ridge, Southeastern Ridge and North Face, but the easiest and most repeated path is the Southwestern Ridge. We follow the route of Everest Base Camp trek until Namche to reach the peak. From Namche onwards as well, different routes can be used, combining the exciting and adventurous treks over many passes and unbeatable vantage points of Everest Region. The following itinerary is only one possible, straight route to the mountain and back to Namche. If you have some more days at your disposal, we can combine other attractive and adventure trekking destinations in the region, before or after the summit ascent.  We can include Gokyo lakes and Gokyo Ri, the formidable Renjola Pass as well as the entire Everest Base Camp trek with Kala Paththar and Gorek Shep. The choice is upto you—to your passions of exploration and adventure and to your love of the sceneries, terrains and culture of the people inhabiting them. Please do not forget to ask us to customize the itinerary, should you want any changes to it.
