TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

Lhakpa Ri situated in Tibet is an ideal objective, remarkably positioned just across the glacier from Everest. It shares the historic route up the north East of Rongbuk Glacier and is climbable by a relatively safe and straightforward route. It is just over the milestone altitude of 7,000m, making it higher than anything outside Asia and is probably the most climbable 7,000m peak in the world. Lhakpa Ri is a superb objective which should appeal to the climbers looking for a 7,000m summit in a famous location.

There are two accessibility to start the Lhakpa Ri Expedition, either you can fly to Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. Or drive from Kathmandu to Zangmu the border town between Nepal and Tibet then drive through, Nyalam, Tingri & Everest Base camp by land. Climbing Lhakpa Ri involves a similar itinerary to the initial phase of an expedition to the North Ridge of Everest. The ascent of Lhakpa Ri can be accomplished by anyone who is fit, well acclimatized, and highly motivated trekker. However High Himalayan Pace is offering with our best itinerary visiting to Lhasa, the overland journey across the Tibetan Plateau, the trek in the footsteps of George Mallory and a climb with awesome views of Everest, are the perfect ingredients of this special expedition.
