A closer look at the journey.
Chhochenphu Himal takes the expedition away from the main Khumbu trails into far eastern Nepal. The approach follows the route from Mitlung through Lelep and Olangchung Gola towards Langmale and a remote mountain base. The emphasis is on a self-contained journey, with the climbing plan shaped by the terrain and conditions encountered.
The approach and climbing phases form one extended mountain journey. Time above base camp is used for acclimatization, carrying equipment, rest and a summit attempt when conditions allow. Discuss your climbing history with us so that the route, team support and equipment plan suit the objective and your experience.
- Far eastern Nepal approach
- Olangchung Gola and the upper valley
