Kwangde
peak 6011meter is located above the famous Sherpa village
of Namche Bazaar and is ripe for those wanting to ascend a
seldom-climbed 6000-meter peak. Combine this with a remote
approach walk through un-spoilt alpine terrain and you have
the essence of this challenging climb.
This difficult
mountain forms an impressive, multi- summated ridge in the
Khumbu region. The actual mass of the mountain is a 3 mile
ridge running from the summit of Nup (6,035m. /19,799 ft.)
southeast through the summits of Kwangde Lho (6,187m. /20,298
ft.) and Kwangde Shar (6,093m. /19,990 ft.) and then turns
sharply south-southeast through several lower summits and
terminates at Nupla (5,885m. /19,307 ft.) All of these summits
are included in the peak permit. The problem is that every
route that has been climbed on the Kwangde Peaks is difficult
and requires advanced technical expertise.
The
Kwangde massif is the last part of the Lumding Himal and rises
above Namche Bazaar. This is one of the trekking peaks of
Nepal, so a trekking-peak permit is sufficient. The ridge
contains at least 4 peaks. All can be climbed with one permit.
All peaks of this ridge are above 6000m and inhibit some relatively
small glaciers and some steep rock-faces. This peak offers
views of the Rolwaling, Cho Oyu, and Everest and Ama Dablam
regions.

Information to arrange a climb to above trekking peak will
