Kongde Peak Climbing

Kongde Peak  stands above the Bhote Koshi River to the southwest of Namche Bazaar. The northern part of the mountain forms an impressive barrier having several steep ridges to the north. The Kwangde glacier provides direct access to the steep snow slopes leading to the summit ridge. Very few climbers make an ascent to Kongde Peak till date due to the difficulties associated with its summit ascent. We establish a high camp at the mouth of the Kwangde Glacier, which provides us direct access to the steep snow slopes leading to the summit ridge. This magnificent vantage point, with views north to Everest and across to the Nangpa La and Tibet, gives us a glimpse of the clusters of Sherpa villages beneath the mountain. This peak offers panoramic views of the Rolwaling, Cho Oyu, Everest, Nuptse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam and many other snow-capped mountains.
