Pachermo Peak Climb

As the climbers arrive in Kathmandu, the Snow View Trek team welcomes them to the Tribhuwan International Airport. You will be welcomed with khada by our representatives and transferred to the hotel in Kathmandu. Here, you can check in, take a rest, and freshen up before heading out and taking a stroll around the nearby areas. We recommend trekkers to go for some local spas and enjoy some massages. Besides, the trekkers can also check out some other parts of the nearby areas before returning to the hotel and sleeping for the night.

Imagine staying for one whole day in the capital city of Nepal and not exploring it at all. Did you know that Kathmandu is also known as the City of Temples? That is because you can find different temples in almost every step in Kathmandu. Other than that, there are also so many other cultural, traditional, and religious places that we can visit while staying in Kathmandu. Our stroll begins by visiting the Pashupatinath temple and then we go around to explore different Durbar Squares, temples, stupas, and so much more.

Moreover, we also recommend the trekkers to try out some amazing and delicious local food items prepared in Kathmandu. After exploring the valley for the whole day, trekkers return to the hotel and take a proper rest for the night.

On the third day, the trekkers drive from Kathmandu to Gongar Khola which is a 6 to 7 hours long journey. Gongar Khola is the starting point of the entire Pachermo Peak Climbing package with Snow View Trek. To reach Gongar Khola from Kathmandu, the trekkers will take a comfortable tourist bus with sufficient space. Moreover, we also make sure that the driver of the bus is a seasoned professional having a valid driving license.

This route takes us through amazing landscapes, green hills, serene waterfalls, and a pitch as well as some portion of We will arrange dinner and overnight stay in a hotel or guesthouse at Gongar Khola. However, you can explore the area and interact with the locals before heading to bed.

Today is the beginning of the walking journey on the Pachermo Peak Climbing route. Our representatives will give you a wake-up call and then you can have a fulfilling breakfast in the hotel. As you complete the breakfast, the Snow View Trek’s representatives (your guides) will check your backpack and fitness level. This is to make sure that trekkers have everything they need for this specific portion of the trail. Moreover, checking your fitness level also helps us determine whether you can ascend on the trail or not.

We walk above the river gorge and cover several uphills and downhills before reaching a jungle and crossing the Tama Koshi River. A little more walk from the river and the trekkers can witness the Gongar Monastery and the Kartung village. From here, the views of Mount Gaurishankhar (7134 meters) accompany our journey until we reach Simigaon.

Another day calls for another walking journey. On the fifth day, we ascend to an altitude of 2850 meters which means we ascend 850 meters within just 5 to 6 hours. At this altitude resides a beautiful village named Dovan. We start the trek from Simigaon after having breakfast and follow the path that enters the Rolwaling valley. Walking by the Rolwaling river bank and watching a clear, early morning view of Mt. Gaurishankhar, we reach Sumuche for lunch. This village sits just across a lush rhododendron forest.

After a few more hours of walking on the rocky trail the trekkers finally reach the endpoint for the day i.e., Dovan. Here, you can have dinner and sleep for the night in the hotel or guest house arranged by Snow View Trek.

We are already on the sixth day of the Pachermo Peak Climbing journey. Trust us, when you actually walk on the trail, the time passes even faster than this because of the adrenaline rush. However, from, this point onwards, the ascend starts being difficult and more challenging. One of the major reasons for that is because we ascend above 3000 meters. Therefore, there are higher chances of altitude sickness.

This section of the Pachermo Peak Climbing map ascends through a rocky route following the Rolwaling river bank. A slow and gradual trekking and we finally reach the largest village of the entire Rolwaling valley. The name of this village is Beding. Also, remember that this village is located just beside the river.

On the seventh day, we ascend from the Dovan to Na Gaon but heading out on the trail, we go for a brief visit to the Gaurisankhar Temple. Moreover, the trekkers also get the best and the most spectacular views of several mountain peaks including Beding Go (6125m), Dolma Khang (6332m), and Gaurishankar Himal (7134m). From there, we leave Beding via the Gompa Gate and then go uphill towards Na Gaon. Na Gaon is a beautiful village just below the Tsho Rolpa Glacier Lake. Also, let us tell you that, Na Gaon is considered as the oldest village in the entire Rolwaling Valley.

Now that we have ascended to above the altitude of 4000 meters, we need to go for at least one day of acclimatization or rest. Therefore, SnowView Trek arranges an acclimatization day for the trekkers on the eighth day. This rest day helps you adapt to the situations in the higher altitude and cope with the difficulties of altitude sickness.

However, we recommend trekkers not to stay idle for the whole day. Instead, you can go for a beautiful day hike to the Yalung Pass (5310 meters) and immerse yourself in the scenic views of the mountains offered by this region. Moreover, you can also interact with the locals to learn more about their lifestyle and about the Na Gaon itself. By the evening, we recommend trekkers return to the hotel or lodge to have dinner and sleep.

After spending a complete day in Na Gaon and also going for a side day hike to Yalung, the trekkers will leave Na Gaon on the ninth day. Our journey starts after the trekkers get the most delicious breakfast in the hotel and are ready to walk. The guides will then lead you on a gradually ascending route which reaches a Himalayan Lake with the water from the glacier. The name of this lake is Tsho Rolpa (Cho Rolpa) and let us not miss out on the fact that this is one of the biggest glacial lakes in Nepal. Reaching this lake means that we will be at an altitude of 4,580 meters (15,030 ft) above the sea level.

A little more walk and we finally reach the final checkpoint of the day, Chugima, a spectacular place located at an altitude of 4820 meters above sea level amidst the Himalayas.

Another day awaits for another heart-throbbing journey in the Himalayas as we leave Chugima and make our way toward the Drolambau Glacier. We begin the trek after the trekkers have their breakfast and are all set to walk. This section of the Pachermo Peak Climbing route is comparatively strenuous and also the starting point of even difficult points. You need to be very careful about your pace and diet to stay safe from altitude sickness.

Within the next 6 to 7 hours of walking on a rough trail accompanied by Ladung and Mahalangur Himal ranges, we pass through forests, streams, rivers, and many settlements to reach the Drolambau Glacier. The overnight stay and dinner will be arranged here by Snowview Trek.

We are on the eleventh day of the Pachermo Peak Climbing journey and on this day we ascend to the altitude of 5400 meters above sea level. The route follows a rugged trail bypassing some rivers and streams. Also, you will witness different Himalayan ranges while ascending this part of the Pachermo Peak Climbing journey. Within a few more hours of walking, we finally reach the destination of the day; Noisy Knob Camp. Here, the climbers will have dinner and take a rest in a hotel or lodge arranged by Snowview Trek.

Today, we reach the base camp of the Pachermo Peak located at an altitude of 5700 meters above sea level. However, the route first leads from Noisy Knob Camp to Tashi Labtsa Pass. As you reach the top of the Tashi Labtsa Pass, remember to check around to get the most epic view of the Khumbu Himalaya.

To reach the Pachermo Base Camp, we need to go for a short downhill that takes a few hours. This will be one of the best experience for the climbers in this journey as the base camp offers such amazing views of the Himalayas and outstanding experience in the base camp itself. The Sherpa guides will set up camp for the trekkers where the climbers will spend a night before ascending further to the peak of Pachermo.

On the thirteen day, the Sherpa guides will lead you from the base camp to the peak of the Pachermo mountain. As the peak is not very far or high from the base camp, there are no other camps like Camp I, II, etc. Therefore, we can reach the summit from the base camp and return to the base camp in a single day. To be more precise, the summit day only requires the trekkers to walk for about 8 to 9 hours.

As this is a peak climbing journey, we need to walk on a trail full of snow and covered with ice. Moreover, the environment is also very cold and freezing. Therefore, we recommend climbers to prepare accordingly and make sure that you wear warm and comfortable clothes. Moreover, our guides will also check for all the equipment so that the climbers do not miss anything and ascend the climber as easily and efficiently as possible.

However, one thing that you must remember is that the route from Pachermo base camp to Pachermo Peak is very difficult and challenging, especially due to the dry and cold weather and hard blue ice throughout the route. Within the next few hours, we reach the peak. Climber will take some time to enjoy the Pachermo Peak and its surroundings. Capture as many photos and videos as possible and take your time to live in the lovely and snowy environment of the Himalayas. After spending some quality time in the Pachermo peak, the trekkers return to the base camp.

As we have just arrived by climbing such a high peak through the snowy and icy route, climbers certainly need to take a rest. Moreover, the weather and climate might also not be favorable and several other factors make it not-so-good to descend from the base camp on this day. Therefore, the climbers can stay in the base camp and enjoy one more day in the Himalayas. However, if the weather conditions are favorable and the climbers do not have any problems with descending on the same day, we will not need this day at all.

Today, we leave the Pachermo Base Camp and move forward to reach another checkpoint or a beautiful village named Thyangbo Camp. This camp is located at an altitude of 4250 meters above sea level and requires us to walk for about 5 to 6 hours. Even though it is a descending journey, the trail can be difficult as we are still at such a high altitude. Therefore, we suggest the trekkers keep a slower pace. Enjoy the surrounding environment, get a glimpse of majestic mountains, streams, rivers, and waterfalls and you will not even notice when you reach Thyangbo Camp.

On the sixteenth day, we start our journey after having breakfast in Thyango Camp and walk for 6 hours. This is one of the best days for the climbers throughout the Pachermo Peak Climbing Adventure because we will reach the most developed Sherpa settlement in the entire Khumbu region or Everest trekking region. After so many days of walking in the rugged, rural, and less developed places, Namche Bazaar feels like a heaven on earth.

After such a long and tiring journey to the Pachermo peak and back, we will finally reach Lukla on the seventeenth day. The route from Namche Bazaar to Lukla is so much easy and developed than any other routes we have walked until now. Moreover, the climbers can also pass through denser settlements in this section of the Pachermo Peak climbing expedition while also enjoying the green forest, hills, rhododendron blossoms and so much more. It takes about 6 to 7 hours for the trekkers to reach Lukla where they will take rest for the night after having dinner.

As per the flight schedule, the guides will take you to the Tenzing and Hilary Airport and then the climbers will return to Kathmandu via a 40-minute flight. If your flight is scheduled for the evening or late afternoon, you can explore around Lukla and interact with the locals for that reason. Otherwise, you will reach Kathmandu on an early morning flight.

Today will be your last day in Nepal if you are returning to your home country. However, you can still enjoy some amazing things in Kathmandu if you have a late flight schedule. Our representatives will take you from the hotel to the Tribhuwan International Airport as per the flight schedule and that finally marks the official end of the Pachermo Peak Climbing Package.
