Cholatse Peak stands proudly at 6,361 m high, the mountain with local name as Jobo Lhaptshan, located around high Khumbu valley within Everest region. This sharp mountain is closely connected with another close peak Taboche 6,542m by a long ridge. Cholatse Peak Climb of highly technical effort and difficulty than any other trekking peaks in Nepal Himalaya where only few climbers have made it to the summit of this peak. The north and east faces of Cholatse can be seen from Thug-la or Dughla, on a trek to Everest Base Camp. This tough and stunning peak was first climbed via the southwest ridge on April 22, 1982 by Vern Clevenger, Galen Rowell, John Rowell and Bill O’Connor. Cholatse Peak climb grade as TD means ‘Technical Difficulte’ used as per French and Swiss Alpine Climbing Classification System and used popularly worldwide for alpine style climb.
A peak of technical effort with straightforward climb, knowing the nature of difficulty we have allowed many days to make the climb a huge success. The north face was successfully scaled in 1984 by veteran climbers so you can join in this extreme adventure climb where you will trek around high valleys of the Khumbu with time to explore villages and monasteries and to sample the incredible hospitality of the Sherpa people. Cholatse Peak Climb adventure begins with a sweeping flight to Lukla and then reaching slowly to Phakding as the trek progresses entering into Sherpa capital at Namche Bazaar.
With time to acclimatize, before following the quiet trail to Gokyo high valley and visiting the ancient Buddhist monastery as the walk leads beyond tree lines to reach arid and barren rocky and ice terrains at Gokyo Lake with incredible views of world's 6th highest Mt. Cho-Oyu at close distance. At Gokyo with fantastic panorama from the high scenic view point at Gokyo Ri, walk continues to cross Thso-la pass and towards our main goal and highlight of the adventure for Cholatse climb, we have allowed enough time for the tough and challenging climb of high technical sections in few places, where our expert team of Sherpa guides will lead you to the summit top with safe and exciting climb at the top enjoy the panorama of world highest peaks with Mt. Everest and magnificent Amadablam at mere distance. After an overwhelming moment of complete isolation for many days, returning via an alternative route with a visit to Pangboche and Thyangboche monasteries of immense interest and delight, the walk slowly ends as the path approaches at Lukla for last overnight around Khumbu and Everest.
A scenic panoramic flight brings you back to Kathmandu with a memorable and exciting time on Cholatse Peak Climb and around Gokyo Valley with great guidance and services of Xtreme Climbers and its expert guides.
