Overview
Parchamo Peak (6273m) lies south of the Tesi Lapcha Pass and, when seen from the pass, the mountain is really attractive. It is a straightforward snow peak first climbed in 1955. The Rolwaling Valley is the main access to Parchamo even though from Khumbu valley also possible it. Tashi Lapcha Pass Trek and Parchamo Expedition begins with a drive to Gonggar/ Chhetchhet via Charikot from Kathmandu where we pass villages such as Simigaon, Bedding, and Na Gaon with an amazing view of Mount Gaurishankar( Holy Mountain) (7134m). In Na Gaon, we explore the Yalung Glacier and climb on the training peak Yalung Ri(5630m). Leaving Na Gaon, we climb uphill to Tsho Rolpa Lake (4540m), the largest glacial Lake in Himalaya. Then, waking on Trakarding Glaciers, the trail reaches Tashi Lapcha Pass (5755m), which separates the Rolwaling region from the Khumbu region and the Gaurishankar Conservation Area from the Sagarmatha National Park. Parchamo climbing rout is from the North side of the peak and it's not very technical climbing peak but its very deep snow and wind makes difficult climb and we follow the ridge crevasses near by the summit. The panoramic views are so beautiful appearing from the summit.
After the Summit to Parchamo the trail joins the trekking trails of the Everest Region which is ever bustling with tourists from inside and outside the country. the trail heads down to the bustling Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar via Thame and leads to Lukla, from where a flight back to Kathmandu is taken. Rolwaling -Tashi Lapcha Pass - Parchamo Peak Climb is an amazing opportunity to observe the different facets of the Himalayan lifestyle as it goes from a remote to a rather urban route of the Himalayas with Amazing Nepal Journey.
