Pachermo Peak Climbing

Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu, you will be greeted by our correspondent who will assist with your transfer to the hotel. Once checked in, we will arrange a pre-trip meeting where we will brief in short about the trek, answer any queries you have and meet your trekking guide as well. After the short brief, you can relax and spend rest of the day at your leisure. Stay overnight at the Hotel in Kathmandu.

After an early breakfast in Kathmandu, prepare to begin your journey toward the eastern hills of Nepal. You will drive to Chhetchhet by private vehicle, following scenic highways and countryside roads. As you leave the busy city behind, the landscape gradually changes to peaceful rural areas, small towns, green terraced fields, and river valleys. Along the way, you’ll get beautiful views of hills, waterfalls, and local villages that reflect Nepal’s natural beauty and traditional life.

The drive takes around 8 hours, including breaks for tea, lunch, and photos. The final stretch of the road becomes narrower and more rugged as we approach Chhetchhet, a small riverside village that serves as the gateway to the Rolwaling Valley. Overnight at lodge in Chhetchhet.

Today you will begin your first day of trekking! After breakfast at the lodge in Chhetchhet, start walking toward Simigaon which takes about 3 hours of trekking.

The trail begins with a short walk along the riverside, and soon we’ll cross a long suspension bridge over a roaring river—a fun and exciting start to the day. After the bridge, the trail climbs uphill through beautiful forests filled with chirping birds and the sound of nature. The path is a bit steep in some sections but not too long, and the walk takes around 3 hours in total. As you go higher, you’ll pass by small farms, terraced fields, and traditional houses along the way.

Simigaon is a peaceful village located on a ridge with amazing views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Most of the people here belong to the Tamang and Sherpa communities, two of Nepal’s well-known ethnic groups. The village is also home to a beautiful Buddhist monastery, which we can visit in the evening for a quiet and spiritual experience. Overnight at lodge

After breakfast in Simigaon, you begin our trek toward Kelthang Kharka which takes about 6 hours of walking. Today’s walk is a bit longer, trekking than yesterday and trail mostly climbs uphill through beautiful forested areas.

The first part of the trail leads us through subtropical jungles filled with rhododendron, pine, and other green trees. You might hear birds singing and see small streams along the way. As we gain altitude, the forest becomes quieter and more peaceful, with fewer signs of villages or people. The trail can be steep in some places, but you’ll take it slow and steady, with enough breaks to rest and enjoy the surroundings.

As you approach Kelthang Kharka, the trees start to thin out, and the views open up. From this high pastureland, we’ll get our first close-up views of Mount Gaurishankar, one of the most sacred and stunning peaks in the region. The scenery here feels remote and wild, with fresh mountain air and wide open skies. Overnight at lodge. 

After breakfast at Kelthang Kharka, you continue the trek towards Beding which takes about 6 hours of walking. Today’s trekking trial includes both uphill and downhill sections, so you’ll be moving steadily through the beautiful mountain terrain.

The trail leads you through forests of pine and colorful rhododendron trees, especially lovely when the flowers are blooming. Along the way, you’ll cross a few suspension bridges that hang over rushing rivers and deep valleys — these bridges add excitement and give you great views of the landscape below. 

As you get closer to Beding, the forest starts to thin, and the mountain views become clearer. Beding is a large village with a strong Sherpa community, known for their warm hospitality and rich culture. Here, you can see traditional stone houses, mani walls (Buddhist prayer walls), and possibly visit a monastery. Overnight at lodge.

After breakfast in Beding, start a shorter and easier day of trekking as you head toward Na. The trail today is mostly flat and straight, making the walk less tiring compared to previous days.

Along the way, you’ll pass through peaceful pine forests, where the fresh scent of pine fills the air. Keep your eyes open for beautiful views of Mount Gaurishankar, which stands tall and majestic nearby. The mountain scenery here is stunning, giving you plenty of chances to take photos and enjoy the calm mountain atmosphere.

You will arrive in Na in time for lunch. Na is a small, quiet village surrounded by high mountains and open valleys. It is the last permanent settlement in the Rolwaling Valley before the trail moves into more remote, high-altitude areas. Overnight at lodge.

Today is an important rest and acclimatization day to help your body adjust to the higher altitude. After breakfast in Na, we will take a gentle hike up to Tso Rolpa Lake (4580 m), one of Nepal’s largest and most beautiful glacial lakes. The trail to the lake is peaceful and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, glaciers, and the deep blue water of the lake itself.

Spending time near Tso Rolpa gives you a chance to enjoy the quiet beauty of this high-altitude valley while helping your body get used to thinner air. After exploring the lake and taking in the amazing scenery, we’ll return to Na for lunch and rest. Overnight at lodge.

After breakfast in Na, prepare to start your trek toward Thakkarding today. The walk takes around 6 hours and covers some challenging but beautiful terrain. At first, the trail climbs steadily uphill from Na up to the edge of Tso Rolpa Lake. This part of the trek offers stunning views of the turquoise glacial lake surrounded by towering mountains.

After reaching Tso Rolpa, the trail changes as you begin to cross the glacier and moraine fields, walking carefully on rocky and icy ground toward Thakkarding. This section requires extra attention as the terrain becomes rougher and more remote. Along the way, you’ll see impressive views of nearby peaks like Yalung Peak and Ramdung Peak, which add to the dramatic mountain scenery. Overnight at tented camp

After breakfast in Thakkarding, prepare to begin today’s trek toward Pachermo Base Camp, which takes about 6 hours of walking.

The trail involves both uphill and downhill sections as we move through high alpine terrain. In the first half hour, we’ll climb steadily uphill before reaching the edge of the Tso Rolpa Glacier. From here, the trail follows alongside the glacier, crossing rocky moraine paths and walking carefully on uneven ground. This area is wild and remote, surrounded by towering snowy peaks.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of Mount Gaurishankar, Yalung Peak, and Ramdung Peak—some of the most impressive mountains in the Rolwaling range. The fresh mountain air and dramatic scenery make this a memorable day. Overnight at Tented Camp

Today is the most important day of Pachermo Peak Climbing as you will reach one of the highest altitude pass of Rolwaling trek where you will cross Tashi Lapcha Pass (5755 m). 

After an early breakfast at Pachermo Base Camp, start the climb toward Tashi Lapcha High Camp. The trek today takes around 5 - 6 hours and involves steep, challenging terrain as we gain altitude to nearly 5,700 meters.

Part of the route requires us to fix and use a 50-meter climbing rope to safely navigate the final sections leading up to the Tashi Lapcha Pass. This is an important day that requires careful attention and teamwork, as the path includes rocky and icy sections.

Along the way, you will be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of some of the world’s highest mountains, including Mount Everest, Makalu, and the entire Rolwaling Himalayan range. The stunning scenery makes the hard climb worthwhile.

Today's camp will be on the southwest face of Pachermo Peak, where the high camp is located. After arriving, you can rest and prepare your gear for the summit push the next day. Overnight at Tented Camp

Today is the most exciting and challenging day of the trek — the summit day!

After an early breakfast at Pachermo Peak High Camp, we begin the climb to the summit of Pachermo Peak, which stands at 6273 meters.

The ascent involves walking carefully over snow and ice, using climbing gear such as crampons, ice axes, and ropes. The climb requires good physical fitness and careful attention to safety, but the reward is incredible. From the top, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of towering Himalayan peaks including Everest, Makalu, and the Rolwaling range — a truly unforgettable sight.

After spending some time at the summit to enjoy the views and take photos, we begin the descent down to Phedi, located at 5,110 meters. The walk downhill takes several hours as we carefully make our way back through high alpine terrain. This is a day you will always remember as one of the highlights of your Himalayan adventure. Overnight at Tented Camp

After breakfast at Phedi, prepare to begin your descent toward Thame Village. Today’s walk takes around 6 hours and mostly follows a downhill trail, making it easier on the legs after the summit climb.

Along the way, you’ll pass through small patches of forest filled with pine and rhododendron trees. The fresh mountain air and peaceful surroundings make for a pleasant walk. You’ll also enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks that tower above the valleys.

The village has Buddhist monasteries, prayer flags, and stone houses, offering a chance to experience Sherpa culture up close. Overnight at lodge.

After breakfast in Thame, we continue our trek toward Namche Bazaar, the bustling heart of the Everest region. Today’s walk takes around 4 to 5 hours, following trails that go both uphill and downhill through beautiful mountain scenery.

The trail passes through small forests and offers stunning views of the high Himalayan peaks surrounding the area. As we get closer to Namche, the trail becomes busier with other trekkers and locals, giving you a lively glimpse of mountain life.

Namche Bazaar is a vibrant town known for its shops, markets, and cafes. It’s a great place to explore local culture, pick up trekking gear, or just relax after several days of trekking. Overnight at lodge.
