Ramdung Peak is 5,930 meters south of Tashi Lapcha along the Rolwaling valley and Khumbu border. In the Rolwaling Himalaya, Ramdung Peak is a well-liked hiking peak. Ramdung peak climbing, often referred to as an expedition, provides panoramic views of the Himalayas, including those of Gaurishanker, Dorje Lakpa, Chobabhamre, and the Tibetan Himalayas. The upper Rolwaling area, south of Na, is home to Ramdung Peak, 5925m. Ramdung Peak is one of several peaks around Yalung La that may be climbed to reach upper Rolwaling via Khare Khola. After Bill Murray scaled Ramdung Peak in 1952, adventurers got more familiar with the sport. 

One of the well-known hiking peaks in the Rolwaling area is Ramdung Peak, which offers breathtaking views of the Gaurishanker, Dorje Lakpa, and Chobabhamre mountains. There are other "Yalung Ri" peaks that are nearby and are pleasant and straightforward to climb, stretching from the Yalung La base camp pass to the Yalung Bhanjyang and Ramdung high camps.

The higher Rolwaling may be reached from the south by traveling through the Khare Khola climbing trials at Ramdung Peak. First, ascend to the Ramdung peak, which is complicated to get but is lower in elevation than Parchamo Peak. Two high camps are involved, as is the northeast face trail.

The Rolwaling Valley is the starting point of this challenging trip. Ramdung Peak is situated in the remote Rolwaling Valley, south of the Khumbu-bordering Tashi Lapcha Pass. This summit is seldom scaled, making it less crowded and ideal for hikers who want to walk in a tranquil environment. You will climb the Ramdung peak first, then go spectacularly to the top of Pharchamo.

Despite its height, this peak requires high camps before summiting and is challenging to climb. You will pass through tiny towns, through riverbanks, over wide meadows, and into impenetrable forests. It will be difficult as you climb towards Pharchamo Peak over the Tashi Lapcha La Pass through the glacier moraine. You will be able to witness panoramic views of several peaks, including the formidable Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8,201 m), Mt. Nuptse (7,861 m), Mt. Gaurishankar (7,134 m), and Mt. Ama Dablam (6,856 m). On this walk, you will also encounter stunning rivers and glaciers. Additionally, you will get a taste of the regional residents' way of life, culture, and traditions.

Day to Day Info

See All InfoHide All Info

On your arrival in Kathmandu, the cultural capital city of Nepal, you will be greeted by our representative at the Tribhuvan International Airport. Kathmandu is a vibrant city full of rich history, art and culture, seething with people and traffic all around the year. Historic temples still stand tall in the busy streets while gigantic stupas paint this city white with prayers to Buddha echoing throughout. 

After settling into your accommodation, we highly recommend visiting some UNESCO World Heritage Sites located nearby. Pashupatinath Temple- The most sacred Hindu temple in Nepal stands amidst a picturesque landscape, looking like a page out of an ancient devotional tale. Boudhanath Stupa - one of the largest spherical stupas depicting Buddhism a short ride away and also happens to be adjacent to Thamel. Thamel is famous for shopping anything from handicrafts stalls to trekking gear stalls or even selecting mouthwatering Nepalese cuisines.

In the evening of the day we will have a briefing on the trip. Its an important session for us to understand the need for the gear and preparations for the trek. You will also meet your fellow trekkers and guides. To clarify tomorrow’s trip, we welcome you to ask follow up questions with your guide. Time to get packed up because we’re starting tomorrow morning, this long awaited adventurous trip begins.

Early in the morning we already have the scenic drive from Kathmandu to Chetchet. As you go you pass through landscapes and villages which seem frozen in time. In the distance, you’ll see some mountain peaks and, closer, terraced fields and lush forests – a flavour of things to come. Once you arrive at Chetchet, you will have an impressive waterfall created by cascading water descending the rocks.

From Chetchet, the trail descends towards the Tama Koshi River before climbing again onto its terraces. In the afternoon, walk upstream first along one side of the river bank, then cross it over a suspension bridge and climb quite steeply for two hours or so uphill through small Sherpa settlements. 

After trekking for several hours, you will reach Simi Gaon, a Sherpa village where, if the weather is clear, you can have your first view of Mt. Gaurishankar, a holy mountain that is sacred to Hindus and Buddhists alike.

Starting from Simi Gaon, the trail passes through highly dense forests, which present a fabulous wealth of plant and rhododendron trees. The terrain is a combination of steep climbing and easy flat, and there are some places to enjoy the serene atmosphere. At a higher altitude, the air is crisper, the sounds of nature more in your ears and peaceful.

You'll get to pass through traditional Sherpa villages where you can visit the daily lives of the people there along the way. But during certain seasons, you might find Yak Naka, temporary yak sheds for the latter production, where you can see the pastoral practices of the region. And clearing along the trail, albeit sparse, offers panoramic views of valleys to all sides and peaks in the distance that inspire you to keep moving upward. After a couple of hours of trekking, you will reach DingDang.

From there, it is again uphill through thick forests of various plants and rhododendrons in all their colors. Suspension bridges are also interchanged all along just to make the traveling adventurous, though sometimes you may be afraid (but it is perfectly safe). Added to the natural experience are the sound of the river flowing below and the chirp of birds.

Basically, the flat and dense forest starts breaking off to a range of alpine as you progress, telling you you are at a higher altitude. You can observe local Sherpa people who live in these high-altitude regions leading sustainable and flexible existence while passing through smaller window settlements.

After spending a day trekking, you arrive at Beding, a big Sherpa village at approximately 3,690 meters. Within Beding, the village is notable for its famous cultural heritage and traditional stone houses. As a village, it acts as a gateway to the Rolwaling Valley, from where the picturesque Gaurishankar mountain appears.

Today is the safe and successful trek acclimatization day, Beding is the place for your body to be as it is starting to acclimatize. Beding is the largest village in the Rolwaling Valley where you can live totally amongst the Sherpa people. Visit the monastery – you’ll get some idea of how villagers live their usual lifestyle and customs.

If you’re more energetic than others, you can take short hiking steps towards vantage points near by. These excursions are not only good for getting used to the weather but you also get a view of the surrounding Himalayan ranges. It’s also a chance to look around and see some of the unique flora and fauna that grows at that high altitude.

The trail departing from Beding ascends gradually but follows the Rolwaling River upstream to Na (or Na Gaon as it is known). The trail winds through alpine pastures and meadows that, for the most part, are grazed by yaks, signs of the pastures of the local Sherpa communities. The valley opens up as you progress, letting you see the highlands and snow-capped peaks around you.

The trek is short enough that lots of time can be spent acclimatizing to the increasing altitude. There are traditional stone huts along the way and mani walls inscribed with Buddhist prayers to indicate the spiritual importance of the region along the way. The placid walk, along with the minor murmur of the glacial streams around, makes the trekking experience almost always a serene walk.

At about 4,180 meters, you arrive at Na, a small settlement serving primarily as a summer pasture for the locals. Towering peaks surround the village and it affords views of Chobutse (6,689m) rising above the Tsho Rolpa Lake and Trakarding glaciers.

In Na, today is a day of rest and warm-up to enhance the body acclimatization for the next Ramdung Peak hike. This day also presents itself as the best time when climbers can sort out and ensure that all their gears are at their best as they prepare to face whatever comes with the climbing missions.

As for Na, the visitor can get used to acclimatization by visiting the surrounding territory. Short treks to adjacent ridges reveal panoramic views of the Rolwaling Valley and some of the Himalayas.

Living among the Sherpa people directly is actually quite informative and rewarding. Listening to their stories and discovering how they live, what they do and what they think when they live at such altitudes is very informative and encouraging once you prepare for a high-altitude climb.

From Na, the trail climbs up toward Yalung Glacier. In fair weather, you have to fight through the path, and crampons and ice axes may be essential. Any pristine environment is stark and breathtaking, but this one is proof of the raw power of glacial landscapes.

As an acclimatization trek to Yalung Glacier, this is a vital part of any expedition in which one will be ascending Ramdung Peak. It is a lot of altitude gain, and you must be able to hold a steady pace to get used to it. As you walk along the way, you’ll be surrounded by towering ice falls and seracs, and the distant peaks are silently standing sentinel over the valley.

When you arrive at the campsite at Yalung Glacier, approximately 4,750 meters above sea level, you will pitch tents on the base of the glacier itself, getting you closer to the crown of the Himalayas than you ever have before.

  • Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  • 5-6 hrs

The trail from Yalung Glacier to Ramdung Base Camp is a challenging one through the glacier as it contains crevasses, seracs, and ice/snow pinnacles, so some degree of technical ability and experience using ropes and crampons are required. However, the climb itself is not classified as a very straightforward climb. The beauty, however, of the surrounding peaks being covered with snow and ice will be more than adequate reward for the effort involved.

As one gains height, the air becomes thinner and the surroundings more desolate, which underscores how remote this part of Nepal actually is. With the Himalayas all around you, there is a definite goal each day while trekking higher and higher closer to our ultimate objective. The sense of being isolated and walking in such pristine mountain scenery makes it a truly remarkable trek.

Arriving at Ramdung Base camp (approximately 5,040 meters) is when preparations begin in earnest for your summit attempt on Ramdung. Our Base Camp will be placed amongst stunning peaks and enormous snow fields, with teams tucked between the crevasses preparing themselves for their assault on this ice peak.

The summit day starts early in the morning when we will be walking through the glaciers with head lamps. We walk up on the steep snow slopes and ridges using fixed ropes and needed equipment like crampons, ice axes, harnesses etc. It takes sheer effort and total determination, along with good weather, to make it to the summit. As sunlight gradually reflected from all around, surrounding peaks warm our bodies. 

Standing atop Ramdung Peak at an altitude of 5,925m rewards trekkers with a 360-degree view of some of the Himalayas’ most famous peaks, including Mt. Gaurishankar and Mt. Everest. It is here that climbers will have a sense of being on top of the world. This surreal scene combines with feelings of elation post-climb to make this moment one that will never be forgotten.

After a short while on the summit, we descend and retrace our steps to Yalung Glacier. It is important during this return journey not to let your guard down as tiredness kicks in. Reaching the campsite Provides everyone with an opportunity to rest and celebrate as a group while swapping stories of their ascent.

Today is the journey back to Na from where the exhilarating summit of Ramdung Peak is reached is a descent from the Yalung Glacier. The glacial terrain is retraced along the trail across moraines and ice formations. In fact, as you descend, you can feel the increased oxygen levels; it’s a real change of pace from high altitude.

Along a graduated change in the landscape, the glacier gives way to the sere alpine meadows and pastures of Na. Grazing yaks and traditional stone huts on the horizon signal a return to the inhabited Rolwaling Valley. On the descent, the surrounding peaks present different views, and as one angle changes, you see something different on these grand peaks.

As we arrive at Na, camp is set up in the middle of this quiet altitude settlement. If you have had a good trek and want to spend the evening reflecting on what you and others have achieved, sharing with fellow trekkers what you have seen, and enjoying the tranquility of the Himalayan landscape, then the evening is yours. It is the start of the way back to civilization, and in the days beyond, there will be comforts of lower altitudes.

A rest day in Na allows your body some recovery time from all the previous ascends and descends. Getting to stay in local teahouses gives you an opportunity to experience the Sherpa culture and their warm hospitality. The Teahouses are comfortable, nice and cozy.

There is a surrounding village walking trail that you can go for a walk after breakfast, and there are several breathtaking viewpoints uphill a few hours' walk from Na, which provide spectacular views of Rolwaling Valley. 

Interacting with Sherpa’s community of the local can be a really enlightening and satisfying experience. They can make you learn about how their customs, traditions and life have been in these high-altitude areas. Their stories are rich in spirit, resilience and hospitality of the Himalayan people.

While Trekking from Na to Tsho Rolpa Lake we slowly gained altitude through the truly alpine country. The trail is easily traveled but involves some glacial moraine and rocky terrain as we near Tsho Rolpa. Views of the lake appear long before you actually arrive at her shores, a stunning contrast to the surrounding white and gray snowy peaks.

Tsho Rolpa (4,540 meters) is one of Nepal's biggest and most beautiful glacial lakes. After lunch continue hiking towards the Sacred Dudh Kunda. This afternoon’s walk is quite honestly one of the toughest walks on this trek. We climb gradually up into a higher valley through more boulders until an opening reveals a beautiful high-mountain lake. 

After spending some time around Dudh Kunda, the trek heads back to Na. The return views are different, and the light changes all the aspects of mountains and valleys. Once you reach Na again, relax and let the teahouses comfort you.

The trail descends from Na to Dongang through a varied landscape. Sections through alpine meadows, rhododendron forest, along the valley of the Rolwaling River and the well-trodden path. It’s noticeable when the vegetation changes as the descent brings lush greenery and sounds of birdlife.

As you descend the towering peaks get smaller and smaller, and it's rolling hills and dense forests for sure that begin to appear. There are even a couple of suspension bridges on the trail over the Rolwaling river, which offer some exhilarating views into the river proper. Cascading waterfalls, verdant landscapes, and a bit of surrounding beauty help the day’s trek along.

At Dongang's altitude of 2,791 meters, above the other high points, the change in altitude brings warmer weather and the comforts of lower elevations. The village is nestled into forested hills that provide a nice place to be able to rest after a long day of traveling. Dongang has friendly residents and a serene environment that makes it a nice layover when doing the return journey.

Down the Rolwaling Valley from Dongang to Chetchet, we descend. It is downhill most of the way on well-marked trails that cross terraced fields, old uncultivated fields, traditional villages and subtropical forests. You lose altitude, you lose coolness, and you begin to notice a rising in the temperature and lush vegetation. 

The journey occurs across the rural life of the region and allows for watching traditional farming and meeting local villagers. The trail carries one through the settlements, which are full of customs and traditions of the bygone Age, making a cultural den out of the trek experience. It also provides its beauty to enjoy as views of cascading waterfalls and verdant hillsides.

As the warm weather informs the road is near, the altitude now rises to 1,440 meters at Chetchet and accordingly, it seems the trekking has come to an end. In the village, close to the riverbanks of the Tama Koshi, basic accommodation and a chance to sleep before the long journey back to Kathmandu will be offered.

The most of that journey is estimated to be around 185 kilometres and it will take somewhere in the range of 6 – 7 hours depending on road conditions and traffic, passing along the track of the TamaKoshi River, providing wonderful points of view of vegetable fields, traditional local, plunge and verdant scenes. The topography of Nepal, however, reflects the diversity of the geographic makeup of the country as you ascend from the lower hills towards the Kathmandu Valley.

Along the way there are places to stop and taste more traditional Nepali dishes. Food items such as dal bhat (lentil soup with rice), momos (dumpling) and sel roti (rice flour dusties) are meant to taste the area of food heritage. However, these stops also give you the chance to chat to locals and get an idea of how their daily lives play out. As you approach Kathmandu you are entering the urban landscape.

Essential Info

The Route for Climbing Ramdung Peak

Ramdung Peak Climbing starts with the trip from Charikot to Singita through Dolakha, which goes to the fringe of the Gaurishankar Conservation Area. The ascent doesn't start until you reach Daldung La in the second portion of the second day (2,850m).
You will reach a valley if you follow the Rolwaling River up. From there, you can view the Gaurishankar peak (7,134 meters). The trek's days will grow shorter as you approach higher elevations, but the path will begin to level off again.

Make sure to practice with your equipment and brush up on your abilities before heading to Ramdung Base Camp (5,040m). Before setting up camp there at night, visit the Ramdung Glacier and the Ramdung High Camp. Then, early in the morning, they ascend. You cannot linger at the peak for too long because it is located at 5,925 meters. However, before returning to base camp, you will have time to enjoy the breathtaking views.

Travel Insurance for Climbing Ramdung Peak

All clients who wish to hike or climb with us must have travel insurance. The insurance should cover you in the event of accidents, altitude sickness, and, if necessary, costs associated with ambulance and helicopter rescue. While traveling in Nepal, kindly bring a copy of your insurance documents and give us a copy. This will enable us to make the essential preparations in an emergency. 

Altitude sickness on Climbing Ramdung Peak

Even the most athletic trekkers are susceptible to the insidious monster known as altitude sickness. This necessitates making every effort to get ready for high-altitude trekking and being cautious the entire time. High altitude sickness is caused mainly by a reduction in the amount of oxygen that is readily accessible as you ascend in height.

Ramdung Peak climbing requires good acclimatization because it is a high-altitude hike. Start at a lower altitude and gradually work your way up since your body needs time to become used to the thin air. The following are a few signs of altitude sickness:

  • Initial symptoms of altitude sickness
  • include expanded breathing
  • and a rise in urination.
  • Headache and sleep disturbance.
  • Breathing in and out periodically during the night.
  • Dehydration.

Effects of Having Altitude sickness

  • respiration difficulty.
  • Extreme exhaustion, respiratory malfunction
  • brain swelling.
  • Coma.

To prevent the problem from getting worse, several precautions should be taken. First, however, you might need to descend to a lower height and get medical attention if the symptoms worsen. However, you can take several additional measures to reduce your risk of altitude sickness when hiking.

Because it takes time for our systems to acclimate to the increased oxygen level, trekkers can alter their bodies by rising gently and steadily. High altitude hiking necessitates at least one day of acclimatization rest, and you should ascend to the highest point before descending to a lower altitude for the night. Because it takes time for our systems to acclimate to the increased oxygen level, trekkers can alter their bodies by rising gently and steadily. High altitude hiking necessitates at least one day of acclimatization rest, and you should ascend to the highest point before descending to a lower altitude for the night.

To build strength and endurance for your expedition, you should engage in various strength training exercises, including running, cycling, jogging, push-ups, and visiting the gym. Elevation decreases oxygen levels as the air becomes increasingly thin, and in the Rolwaling area, height also means fewer flowers. In addition, the amount of water in the body is reduced by tobacco, alcohol, and cigarettes.

Accommodations and Food on Climbing Ramdung Peak

For climbers, food is the most crucial energy source during their ascent and expedition. To replenish your energy hourly, include emergency health energy bars and dry meals.

You won't be able to explore all of the world's unique natural attractions in a single trip; instead, you must choose according to what appeals to your senses the most. There will always be a more picturesque location in the Himalayas, no matter where you travel. Additionally, a comfortable hotel is a crucial component of the voyage because it aids in your body's preparation for the walk the following day. A good night's sleep and enough rest are essential in high-altitude climbs.

You may choose between staying in lodges, guesthouses, or tents when climbing Ramdung Peak. However, it's a good idea to pack a sleeping bag to ensure a cozy and warm night's sleep.

The Internet and electricity are available in the Rolwaling region

Electricity source

One of Nepal's most isolated regions is the Rolwaling Valley. Electricity is not accessible. Solar energy is the sole source of electricity used in the entire valley and can only light one bulb. There isn't a power outlet in your room. So your gadget won't be able to charge using solar power, even if you are prepared to pay for charging. Our walk begins and ends in Chetchet, where you may charge your electronic devices. It is advised that you pack a power bank that will last the whole walk. A new hydropower project has recently been planned near the Rolwaling valley, and a power pole has been set up. Rolwaling valley will therefore have access to energy in a few years.

Internet service and facilities

To stay in touch with your loved ones, colleagues, and coworkers, publish updates on your journey and upload images, you'll need access to the Internet and a network facility. Unfortunately, because there is no power, there is no internet service in Rolwaling Valley.

Until Tsho Rolpa, NTC Cellular has been offering GSM mobile network service in the Rolwalin valley. The NTC sim card costs $1 and is available at retailers in Kathmandu. You may access the Internet from NTC to Tsho Rolpa by purchasing data packages, but only when the mobile network receives a signal.

Arrangements for Staff and Guide

Our skilled and knowledgeable team will manage all your activities throughout the walk. In addition, they will conduct the entire escort. In addition, we will supply you with a highly qualified and experienced guide who speaks fluent English, has good navigational abilities, and has rope-fixing skills because this is one of the trickiest and hardest treks. They will travel with you from Kathmandu and serve as your guides while you ascend Ramdung Peak.

Our lead guides, assistant guides, and potters are all highly qualified and knowledgeable. We thus ask for your cooperation and respect for them during the journey.

Smart Travel Rolwaling Valley

The undiscovered tourist spot in Nepal is the Rolwaling Valley. The most remote and culturally rich settlement in the Rolwaling valley. You will get to observe the customs of this region's long-established Chettri, Gurung, and Sherpa populations. The least populated valley is the one in question.

Therefore, you must respect the locals, their local customs and culture, as well as the environment and the natural world. By utilizing local goods and services, you may assist them. You can learn some polite Nepali phrases, such as "Namaskar" and "Tashi Delek," which indicate "good day," "good luck," and blessings.

You have to keep your cool while you stroll down the woodland route. Play no music in the forest. It alarmed the animals. We anticipate that you will responsibly dispose of your plastic waste (food wrappers and plastic water bottles). You must receive permission from the Nepalese government to hike through Rolwaling Valley because it is a restricted region. The infrastructure in this valley is not very advanced because it is a recently discovered trekking location. Your minor acts of disrespect and carelessness might have serious consequences down the road. Your ethical travel will aid Nepal in developing a long-term, sustainable tourist industry.

Details about Nepal's tourist visas and permits.

You must have a tourist visa that is valid for the whole length of your intended stay in Nepal in order to travel there. It is preferable if you have a tourist visa that is good for at least one month because anything may happen while you are traveling, and if you stay in Nepal after your Visa expires, you will be fined. Apply for a visa at the Nepali embassy that is most convenient for you, or pick one up at immigration at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. Contacting the Nepalese Embassy nearest you is preferable.

These are the documents you'll need to submit with your visa application.

  • The Nepal Tourist Visa Application Form (fully completed online and printed)
  • Original passport, valid for at least six months, with at least two blank pages.
  • Copy of the information page from your passport. 
  • At least two recent, white-background passport-sized pictures of yourself.
  • Evidence of lodging in Nepal.
  • Travel and return tickets that are valid.
  • A recent three-month bank statement with a minimum closing amount of NPR 2,000,000.
  • Receipt of the Nepal visa fee.

 

Backpack essentials for climbing Ramdung Peak

A traveler's luggage might also give away how experienced they are. A fantastic trekker needs to be a savvy traveler. You should be ready for the items you'll need on the voyage. It would help if you packed adequate provisions for the walk because it is in a rural valley, and there are no stores once you leave the road.

Climbing Ramdung Peak in Spring: March, April, May

The greatest time to travel to the Nepalese Himalayas is during the spring months of March through May. During these months, the temperature is warmer, and the sky and weather are pretty straightforward and sunny. Temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees are typical at under 3,500 meters. However, they will decrease at night. Once over 3,500 feet, you may anticipate dramatic temperature reductions at night and early morning, frequently as low as -15 degrees.

In these months, there is a little bit of rain, but nothing too heavy, and this helps to bring out the natural colors in the diverse flora and fauna, notably in the rhododendron, the national flower of Nepal.

June to August are the months of summer

The monsoon season in Nepal occurs in June, July, and August, although it occasionally lasts into mid-September. Mid-June, before the rains get up, is a good time for specific hikes, but visibility may be poor.

The rains bring additional difficulties and barriers. Mountain flights don't happen too often.

While landslides may prevent access to roadways, while it is still feasible to go hiking in the middle of June, we advise against classic climbs like Everest because the possibility of protracted delays at Lukla might result in missing an international flight.

Climbing Ramdung Peak in Autumn:- September, October, and November is the season of fall.

The fall season goes from mid-September to mid-December and has weather somewhat comparable to spring. It is also the best time to go climbing. There are several hiking choices available because there is a large window of good vision.

The Dashain/Tihar/Chhat festivals and other celebrations are particularly well-known at this time of year. In addition, long national holidays make it possible for many individuals to visit family in their villages, increasing the vibrancy of rural Nepal. Generally, bright skies, little rain, and mild temperatures are the norm.

FAQs

  • Q1. Is it possible to pay a porter to carry my backpacks?

    The answer is that you may pay a personal porter to carry your bags on the adventure. But hiring a porter can come at an additional expense.


     

     

  • The adaptations will be substantial if you are not accustomed to living at a high altitude. However, if you proceed slowly and cautiously, altitude sickness can be avoided.

  • Ramdung Peak may be difficult to climb, especially if you are not accustomed to being at high elevations. Before attempting to summit, it is crucial to take your time and acclimate to the altitude. Although the climb itself is not particularly technical, there are a few steep stretches that can be difficult.
