Mt. Nirekha Expedition

Overview

Climb Nirekha climbing peak which is situated in the Khumbu Himal region deep in the Himalayas close to the Tibetan border and hidden among the giants of Mt Everest, Cho Oyu and Cholatse. The climb itself is relatively straightforward but it does require some ice axe, crampons and some fixed rope sections. It is a very do-able climb for anyone in good shape and with a desire for high adventure. 

 

Expeditions and Climbing Peaks

All our expeditions and climbing peaks are supported by satellite phone, two way radio, support oxygen (when required) and comprehensive first aid medical kit. We only use top quality expedition tents.

High Altitude Warning

 

Safety is a major consideration during all our expeditions however there are dangers involved in climbing 6000m, 7000m and 8000m peaks that cannot be avoided. The extreme altitude, weather, cold and other mountaineering hazards ensure high altitude climbing has unavoidable risks at the best of times, members of our expeditions need to be aware of these dangers and accept that they are an integral part of high altitude mountaineering.
