Evening pre-trip discussion with our fellow climbing team for your adventure Nirekha peak climb trip.
Take an early flight from Kathmandu to Lukla airport 2,860m, seat at north side to get a better view. Upon arrival at Lukla bazaar, meet our entire crew, have breakfast, and proceed to go. As you hike from Lukla to Phakding village, the path is one of the easiest parts as the landscapes go simply up in ascending rank. The journey goes further with a gentle rise in the mountainside of the Dudh Koshi river. Passing several Sherpa localities, we reach Bengkar village.
The trail ascends through the Koshi riverbank into the mountain, through a forest to Chumoa. We continue along the trail with many ups and downs; cross a stream, and pass by the tiny Monjo village. We come to the Sagarmatha National Park office to pay for entrance fees. Crossing over the Hillary bridge, the trek begins the steep ascent to Namche Bazar. On the way, we have a first-rate Everest (8,848m) and Lhotse (8,516m.) mountain view. Encircled around the mountains, Namche Bazaar is a central heart of the area for food, trekking gear, and other necessary goods.
We start with a steep one-hour climb to the Sengboche airstrip (3,790m), from where we will slowly ascent towards Khunde passing numerous chorten (stone Buddhist monuments) and hill station. We go to a hill station to have an excellent view of Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse, Tawche, Kwangde, Thamserku, and many other snowy mountains in a row. Khumjung is a foothill of Khumbila and interested tourists go to visit the Khumjung monastery.
The trail ascends up to Mongla (4000m) ridgeline. A short stop for photography rest because Mong la hill station offers an excellent mountain view of several tallest mountains. You trek steeply descend passing through Phortse Tenga and from there, the trail climbs steeply to Dhole, through rhododendron and birch forest.
After Dhole, the trek leads steadily along the side of the valley, where the small and thorny bushes give way to scrub juniper as the altitude increases. The trail passes many summer settlements, yaks are taken to these pastures to graze in the summer months. Ahead of you are excellent views of Cho Oyu, while back down the valley are the peaks of Kantega and Thamserku.
After Machhermo, the trek leads over a very scenic path to Pangka, descend slightly, following one of the melt-water Rivers which flow down the west side of the Ngozumpa Glacier. We climb a steep rocky incline into the valley with the glacial river, passing the first holy Gokyo lake. We soon arrive at the second Gokyo lake, crossing the path which heads across the glacier to Cho La. The third lake is a Dudh Pokhari, which appears on its eastern shore as the settlement of Gokyo village. Walk along with the Gokyo lake corner, you can reach the Gokyo resorts.
After Lunch, the Gokyo Ridge hike is situated just above the side of Gokyo lake and a Ngozumpa glacier, the biggest glacier in Nepal. You can hike at the top of Gokyo Ri to get an amazing view of the tallest Himalayas at a 360 deg angle.
Tre trail ascend with the beaten path trek route and follows a Yak herder’s, crosses a couple of cols, and climbs up we reach the Nirekha foothills. Reaching a Nirekha base camp, our team will set up a campsite, so you can rest. Our climbing crew will set up a member tent, and kitchen tents. Likewise, disposable travel toilet bags to use in the higher camps, while at Base Camp, there are toilet tents that have special tiny drums where human waste goes. It can take away from the mountain and empty safely. Hike about 380 feet up to the Nirekha for better acclimatization but it is not a must.
Right after the base camp, the trail leads with steep ascends for a few hours to the high camp. We may need to make use of fixed ropes and crampons as the trail to the high camp is often sleeper and snowy. Hurrying at high alpine altitude is not a good idea, so moving one step at a time, we set up our campsite on a high camp. Our climbing Sherpa crew will create the final preparations for the main summit climb attempt of Nirekha Peak, the following day.
As you go higher the trail goes more stepper, thinner, and sleeper. Depending on the weather environment, we can expect about 1,640 feet of technically difficult climbing before we stand firm on the snow-crested summit. In cold and dry weather, the trail could be blue ice which makes your climbing more challenging. The pointed Nirekha summit is tiny with amazing views of the entire Khumbu Region. After a successful ascend, return to base camp where we will spend the night.
There is no such guarantee that we can get quite favorable weather while climbing. So this day is used as a contingency in case we are unable to get to the summit on an earlier day. If the weather gets exceptionally unfavorable, we wisely have to postpone the program. Sometimes somebody in the group may get some problems acclimatizing well enough to make the ascent; the day can be used in that condition too. If the trip goes smoothly, we do not need this spare day.
After successfully achieving the summit of Nirekha Peak, we will take it easy and start our return journey from the base camp by remaking our steps on the same trail that passes through Dragnag and towards the beautiful Gokyo valley. We continue on our journey back to Machhermo for an overnight stay.
A long day walks to get to Monjo village passing sherpa settlements such as Dole, Mong la hilltop, Lagusasa, Namche Bazaar, Joresalle…etc.
An easy hikes today to get back at Lukla airport. We trek to Lukla Bazaar with the same trail that we use on our ascending. It is the last day of our climbing. Our guide will go to the airline counter to reconfirm the return light to Kathmandu for the next morning.
We board our early flight from Lukla to Kathmandu airport. Upon arrival at Kathmandu Tribhuvan international airport, we arrange a return transfer back to your hotel. In the afternoon, go shopping or request us to discover Kathmandu as a guided trip at an additional cost.
Drop you at Tribhuwan International Airport (TIA) onward to your final destination and our trip ends. Wish you a wonderful journey.
