Looking Ramdung Go Peak Climbing
Ramdung Go Peak 5925m (19438 fits) climbing is relatively easy and a bit challenging peak to climb. The only defector being its location in a remote area and altitude gain. You do not need any experience in climbing but as a climber good physical condition and stamina. Cross difficult Himalayan route with fast adaptation to higher altitude aids very much with the expedition. Most of the climbers use Ramdung Peak as a warm-up peak before climbing higher peaks. The two routes to climb this peak are via North Glacier and ridge.
Similarly, once you reach the top of the mountain you will enjoy an excellent sunrise view of Mt. Everest, Gaurishankhar, Melungtse, Dorje Lakpa, Chobabhamre, and many other peaks. The first ascent was made by the Scottish Himalayan expedition, led by Bill Muray in 1952. And the second summit was done by members of the Merseyside expedition. Since then, Ramdung Go Peak climbing is followed by numerous adventure seekers.
However, we start our trip from Kathmandu by taking a drive to Shigeta. Then gradually, we gain altitude as we move from Shigati to Suri Dobhan to Jagat to Simigaun and to Kharka. Along the way, we experience the tranquility of giant mountains, fabulous high alpine valley, lush forest of pines and rhododendrons with the unspoiled and untouched Sherpa villages.
