Lakpa Ri Expedtion

Lakpa Ri Expedtion

The Lhakpa Ri is one of the most popular climbing peaks owing to easy accessibility as well as its proximity to world's highest mountain, the Everest.  Hence, Lhakpa is also famous as the easier cousin of Mt. Everest. Relatively rapid accessibility, easier boarding to the Base Camp, favorable directions and lower gradient give Lhakpa Ri an advantages over other 7000 m! Besides summiting Lhakpa Ri, travelers also enjoy the magnificent company of Everest, Lhotse and Makalu among others. The mountain is also featured in Lucy Walker's famous experimental documentary, 'Blindsight: Himalayas - The Summit of Happiness'. The documentary features the fascinating adventure of six visually challenged ("blind") Tibetan teenagers who embark on their adventure to climb Lhakpa Ri under the guidance of blind educator and adventurer Sabriye Tenberken, and the famous blind climber Erik Weihenmayer.  Our journey begins from Lhasa - our stay at the Tibet capital would serve both the purpose of acclimatization and cultural sightseeing. Then we drive to the Everest Base Camp via different Tibet towns and villages. From Everest Base Camp, we set out for our Lhakpa Ri Climbing adventure. We climb along the east Rongbuk glacier sheared in three stages to the Everest Advanced BaseCamp North, with intermediate Camps in between. Our initial trek along the flat glacial terrain soon leads to the steep north ridge. Whenever necessary, our position would be secured with fixed ropes. After summiting, we descent to Rongbuk and drive over the Tibet-Nepal border to Kathmandu. We invite visitors to experience Himalayan Hub International's amazing package which focuses on adventure, fun, cultural exposure, and not the least, proper acclimatization.
