Peace Nepal Treks : Nepal trekking, Trekking, Tour, Expedition, Peak Climbing, Rafting, Jungle Safari in Nepal

Area: Khumbu Himal in the Everest Area.

Kwangde Ri is also named Kongde Ri and Kwande on various maps. This difficult mountain forms an impressive multi-summited ridge on the eastern end of the Lumding Himal, which in turn can be regarded as part of the Rolwaling Himal. Rising south-west of Namche Bazaar above the Bhote Koshi River, the mountain’s northern flank forms an impressive barrier that throws down several steep ridges to the north.
Its glaciated southern flank is more aloof and is hidden at the northern end of the Lumding Drangka, a high and remote valley bound to the west by the tumbling glaciers of Karyolung (6,511m/21,361ft), Khartang (6,853m/22,484ft) and Numbur (6,959m/22,831ft). The Lumding valley is rarely visited by trekkers or expeditors. At the northern end of the valley, the stream cascades down a natural rocky barrier above which there is a moraine-bound lake- the Tsho Og, at the snout of the Limding Glacier. North of the Tsho Og, hidden in a huge rocky cwm- ???, is the massive Lumding Tsho Teng (5,151m/16,899ft).

All the routes climbed to-date on the Kwangde Peaks are difficult and none have proved to be suitable for commercial trekking expeditions. The routes on the North Face are particularly difficult and reflect recent developments in lightweight Himalayan climbing with an emphasis on technical difficulty and a high degree of commitment. They have invariably been made by two climbers without support camps or fixed ropes, although, in at least one case, a subsequent ascent has seen a return to traditional siege style tactics with masses of fixed ropes and camps. The routes on the South Face are also committing and difficult even though the climbing is more traditional in character.
The first ascent of Kwangde Lho was made by a Nepalese expedition in 1975 which was led by Kumar Khagda Bikram Shah. Lhakpa Tenzing. Sonam Gyalzen, Shambhu Tamang and Sonam Hisi reached the actual summit on October 17 via the South Ridge.
Experienced climbers who are looking for rarely climbed and challenging small peaks in the Himalayas will find this peak very attractive. Further information regarding arrangements to climb this peak will be provided on request.
