Mt. Ramdung Expedition

Overview

Climb the most popular climbing peak in the Rolwaling region of Nepal, Ramdung. Although technically straightforward the ascent demands careful logistical planning and adequate acclimatisation. The first ascent of Ramdung was in 1952 by the Scottish Himalayan expedition led by Bill Murray. The views from the summit range from Langtang to Everest and provides a splendid view of Gauri Shankar and Menlungtse.

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.
