Kyajo Ri Peak Climbing via Gokyo & Renjo La Pass-21 Days

Trip Introduction

Join our superb itinerary for Kyajo Ri Climbing especially designed for the energetic adventurers in quest for a challenging trekking & climbing experience. Himalayan Glacier Trekking first organized Kyajo Ri peak in Nov 2008 for a British team of 11 pax, and also for an Australian team of 4 pax recently in 2011. Being the highest point on the massif dividing the Gokyo and Thame valleys, Kyajo Ri summit offers excellent views of the whole Khumbu Region. The Everest region which boasts of four of the world's six tallest peaks Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu is also blessed with numerous lesser mountain peaks, including the Kyajo Ri. Since, the expedition passes through Gokyo and Renjo La pass, the views of the Everest heartlands with abounding natural beauty of shimmering lakes are sure to mesmerize you.
The Kyajo Ri peak with a sharp definite summit is an outstanding climbing peak among the trekking peaks of Nepal Himalaya. In the Khumbu Himalaya, the north of Namche is a long line of small rocky peaks continuing all the way to Cho Oyu on the Nepalese -Tibetan border, and the 6,186 meter (20,290 feet) high Kyajo Ri is the highest summit on this ridge. Although a 6000er, or a trekking peak, Kyajo Ri commands no less respect and preparation from the adventurers. Kyajo Ri can be attempted through different routes. Unlike Lobuche East or Island Peak, Kyajo Ri climbing route actually ends on the highest magnificent pointed summit. Moreover, trekking through the Everest region offers astounding mountain views, an opportunity to take a glimpse into the life of world famous climbers (the Sherpas), a chance to survey around a world heritage site (Sagarmatha National Park) that hosts a variety of Himalayan floras and faunas, and an opportunity to explore the highest Buddhist monasteries in the world.
