Kongma Tse Peak Climbing

Kongma Tse Peak Climbing in Nepal

Climbing Kongma Tse Peak is reaching the summit, from where you will see a 360-degree view of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Makalu, Baruntse, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and so on. To reach the top of this peak, you will follow the climbing route on the southern side of the Kongma Tse Peak, and to get to the base of this peak, you will walk on the Khumbu Glacier at the end. During the climbing, there are glaciers on the way. From the bottom of the Kongma Tse Peak, you will see the Nuptse Glacier and Lobuche, and as you climb from this base camp, you will find the Kongma Tse Peak non-technical. The summit of the Kongma Tse Peak is diamond-shaped with a hanging glacier.

Apart from seeing and walking on glaciers, the trekking trail of the Kongma Tse Peak takes you to the villages of the Sherpa people, who are the locals of the Everest Region and allows you to visit one of the most beautiful monasteries of Nepal in the Sagarmatha National Park, the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The itinerary of the Kongma Tse Peak Climbing matches the itinerary of the Kongma Tse Peak Trekking, and there is hardly any difference between the two. However, there is a difference between the itinerary of the Everest Base Camp Trek and the Kongma Tse Peak Climbing itinerary, so you get 2 in one. You can customise the itinerary of the Kongma Tse Peak Climbing to include Everest’s base camp.

From Lukla, you will head to Phakding, one of the Sherpa villages at the edge of the Dudh Kosi River Valley. On the way, you will see the stunning view of the mountain called Kusum Kangaru.

Day 04 From Phakding to Namche Bazaar (four square meals provided, standard accommodation)

Today, you are heading to Monjo, the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park. The trekking trail takes you to the forest of pine and rhododendrons. Although you will walk through small villages, the famous ones are Tok Tok and Jorsale.

Before reaching Namche Bazaar, the largest Sherpa village in Nepal, you will cross the suspension bridge. The trekking trail you will follow goes uphill and makes you tired, but when you reach Namche, you will have enough time to relax.

Day 05 Acclimatization Day (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

As Nepal’s largest Sherpa village, Namche also has exciting places to visit. Its Everest View Hotel is famous for unbeatable service and a viewpoint from which you can see stunning mountains, such as Everest, Thamserku, Kongdi RI, and Ama Dablam. In addition, the Sherpa Culture Museum, Syangboche Airstrip, and Everest Photo Gallery are on the list you want to visit.

Day 06 From Namche to Tengboche (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

If Namche is the largest Sherpa village in Nepal, then Tengboche is the best spiritual place for Buddhists, including non-Buddhists. Its monastery is famous all over Nepal. Your trek will be incomplete if you do not visit this monastery. To reach Tengboche, you must walk uphill in the forest with small villages and pastures.

As you walk the trekking trail, the view of the mountains keeps on coming to your eyes, especially that of Ama Dablam. In addition, you will also see the exceptional view of Everest that will trace to your mind.

Day 07 From Tengboche to Dingboche (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

As you trek from Tengboche to Dingboche, you will come across suspension bridges, not two, but many. Many small Sherpa villages are on the way; the famous ones are Pangboche and Orsho. The trekking trail passes by mani walls, and colourful prayer flags flutter in the Himalayan breeze. As you reach Dingboche, you will enjoy the lovely view of Everest.

Day 08 Acclimatization Day (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

During acclimatisation in Namche, you visited its exciting places. You can do the same in Dingboche by hiking up Nagarjun Hill. From the top of the hill, you will see the spectacular view of Imja Valley, including the mountains, such as Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Everest. Ama Dablam, which you see, is the world’s most beautiful mountain.

Day 09 From Dingboche to Lobuche (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

You are heading to the higher altitudes, and you will notice changes in the geographical features as you come across the snowy region and shrub plants. Still, the view of the mountains, such as Lingtern, Pumori, and Khumbutse, will blow your mind. The villages you come across are small and have fewer villagers.

Day 10 From Lobuche to the Kongma La Pass Base Camp (4 meals provided, tented camp)

Today, as you head to the base camp of the Kongma La, you will first walk in the plain valley. From the base camp, you will see the peaks and the small glaciers flowing from the summit. There are landslides and small streams on the way.

Day 11 Climb the summit of Kongma Tse Peak and trek to Chukkung (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

Today you summit the top of the Kongma Tse Peak, and from there, you will see the beautiful view of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Makalu, Baruntse, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and so on. From Chukkung also, you will see snow-covered mountains, including glaciers. If you have time, then you can hike up to Chukkung Ri.

Day 12 From Chukkung to Tengboche (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

You walk uphill and downhill, and you are in a high altitude of a rocky area. On the way, there are small villages and suspension bridges. You will also reach a town called Dingboche. Here the locals grow buckwheat and potatoes. Later, you will come across the forest.

Day 13 From Tengboche to Namche (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

A steep descent to the Dudh Koshi and another climb up to Namche Bazaar. From the area of shrub plants, you once again reach the forest of pine and rhododendrons, but what is consistent is the view of the snow-covered mountains.

Day 14 From Namche to Lukla (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

As you head to Lukla, you will again see the colourful Buddhist prayer flags and come across chortens, mani walls, and gompas. Crossing the suspension bridges over the glaciated Dudh Kosi River reminds you of the beginning of your Everest journey. Finally, from Cheplung, you will head to Lukla.

Day 15 Flight from Lukla to Kathmandu (breakfast provided, standard accommodation)

Once again, it is time to enjoy the mountain aerial view from a plane's window. After landing at the Kathmandu airport, you will be taken to our office or the hotel.
