We offer a unique opportunity for you to visit the remote Rolwaling area of Nepal with optional guided ascent of Parcharmo Peak ( 6273 m). Set in the spectacular surroundings, Parchamo is a fairly inaccessible 6000 m peak set close to the Tibetan border. From the summit of Parchamo is an amazing view. The mountain is graded as moderate to climb (i.e. requires the use of ropes, crampons and ice axe), but is within the capabilities of most fit winter climber/hill walkers. The group will be accompanied by an experienced English speaking guide, high altitude Shepas and our own cook crew. To minimize our impact on the mountain environment, we travel with self contained group and our cooks use only kerosene for cooking.  All rubbish is packed out for the disposal at sites up by the local governments.

This expedition takes participants through the remote Rolwaling valley, exiting into the Khumbu Himal. It is a good choice for first timers to Himalayan Trekking and climbing.  As always, feel free to call us to discuss your special needs on this adventure.

Our trek starts at Dolkha where the road ends.  Each day of trekking opens new vistas, as we ascend up the Rolwaling Valley. Beyond the village of Beding the terrain becomes more harsh and exposed culminating in the crossing of the Tashi Laptsa Pass and descent to the Khumbu.  During the trek, the daily walk is approximately 8 to 9 miles, utilizing traditional stopping points.

Our base camp for Parchamo will be situated near the Tashi Laptsa pass at an altitude of about 5400m.  While acclimatizing, we will establish our high camp from there.

We will leave base camp mid-morning to climb to a per-prepared high camp at about 5400 m.  After our ascent is completed the group will cross the Tashi Laptsa pass into the Khumbu region and proceed on to Lukla.

We will fly out from Lukla at 3000 m, back to Kathmandu.  Lukla is a small STOL (Short Take off & Landing) airfield close to the mountains. The flight from Lukla is “scenic” to say the least, and probably one of the most spectacular flights in the world.

Our highly trained, skilled and experienced trekking guide will lead you throughout the trekking period. We will spend ample time acclimatizing to new altitudes for increased safety and comfort. High Altitude Dreams is proud of our experienced guides, cooks, porters and kitchen staff.
