Kyajo Ri Peak Climbing

Kyajo Ri Peak Climbing in Nepal

Climbing Kyajo Ri Peak is different from hiking a small hill. It lies in the region where there are lots of high mountains, including 8000 m peaks, but this does not mean that all the mountains of the Everest Region will create an obstruction on your way; they are accessible, they are easy, in other words, you can submit them, and you can return to the base camp safely. Of course, you can make this assumption only in the case of the trekking peaks of Nepal. Since you will be in the Everest Region, there are no shortages of mountain views from beginning to end. This is one of the plus points of Kyajo Ri Trek.

Before you climb Kyajo Ri, you must trek up to the base camp of Kyajo Ri. Its trekking trail is one of the best trekking trails in Nepal because it is off the beaten, where you see few trekkers or no trekkers at all. So, believe it or not, you can be 100% sure that you will be in the most scenic place of the Everest Region because you are off the beaten. Kyajo Ri Peak is your cup of tea because you can reach its summit from different climbing routes, but this does not mean, it is like climbing a hill, you must be physically fit, and you must know how to use the trekking equipment. During Kyazo Ri Peak Climbing, three camps will be set up to reach the summit successfully. The main features of  Kyajo Ri Peak Climbing are:

    ★ The beautiful region of Everest

    ★ Off the beaten trekking trail

    ★ Glacier lakes and viewpoints
