The kyajo ri peak climbing is another famous ridge to climb which covers the highlights villages, and the glacier. Kyajo ridge is a common peak that is situated in the Mahalangur Himalayan range into the depth of Mount Everest, Solukhumbu District, Nepal.
This kyajo ri peak is equally popular as a Kyozo Ri peak climbing in Nepal. It is opened for climbing under the mountaineering section in 2002. The government of Nepal declares to climb kya jo RI Peak as an expedition Mountain. The summit offers a splendid view of Everest (8,850m), Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse (9,501m), Makalu (8,475m), Baruntse (7,720m), and Thamserku, Cho-Oyu, etc.
Moreover, the typical ascent to Kyajo Ri is truly magnificent. Notably, the British expedition team first approached from Machhermo, crossing the Kyajo Glacier and ascending via the Southwest Ridge. This same route was later successfully used by a French climbing team in 2003. Similarly, a Dutch expedition team also reached the summit via the Southwest Ridge route that same year.
There are several climbers who attempt or even ascent the Kyozo peak prior to its official opening date. According to our past alpinists, we have designed the kya jo ri peak climbing itinerary carefully to authorize gradual ascending and proper acclimation. From April to May or September to early-November are the best months to climb this peak. However, if the itinerary is not suitable for you, we design another itinerary as per your request and the duration of the climbing vacation.
