The journey of Cholatse Peak Climbing begins from Kathmandu and ends in Lukla, similar to other peaks in the Everest region. The trek starts from Phakding and passes through Namche Bazaar, where the trekkers acclimatize before ascending into the Gokyo Valley.
Before ascending to the Gokyo Ri, the trekkers explore the Gokyo Valley and its beautiful lakes. From Gokyo Ri, they can witness a spectacular view that includes Mt. Everest. After visiting the Gokyo Ri, they continue to Chola Phedi via Gokyo Valley.
The journey from Chola Pass to Dzongla is delightful and arduous, offering panoramic views of Lhotse and Everest. The path leads to the Cholaste Base Camp, where the camp is located. Before attempting the summit, the trekkers undergo acclimatization and technical training. The hypnotic mountain ranges fire up their adrenaline while they are at the summit. Climbing Cholatse Peak offers a breathtaking natural beauty experience and an opportunity to learn about the rich culture.
Climbing Cholatse Peak requires proper acclimatization and good physical condition. Therefore, it's recommended for trekkers with a superb physique and enthusiasm for adventure and adrenaline.

Climbing Cholatse Peak is challenging, so the guide and members will determine the itinerary based on the climber's physical condition. Before ascending beyond the base camp, the crew usually spends a few days preparing food, practicing rope skills, and acclimatizing to the high altitude. The summit attempt is made at midnight, allowing them to reach the top early in the morning and witness the beautiful sunrise and breathtaking views. Following this, they return to the base camp before the temperature rises too much. We wish you the best of luck as you embark on this journey!
Cholatse Peak has been successfully climbed by several individuals, including Vern Clevenger, Galen Rowell, John Roskelley, and Bill O'Connor. They completed their ascent for the first time via the southwest ridge on April 22, 1982. Ueli Steck accomplished his first solo ascent via the north on April 15, 2005.

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!
I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!
I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.
The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo
Recently I did EBC Trekking with my Girl Friend and this is my forth time to trek in Nepal with Kumar! Kumar is very professional and helpful. He always arranges all the things well before you asking for. Highly recommended for anyone who is first time to visit Nepal and trek!
H.E.T were professional and helpful for my first trekking in Nepal. Friendly and joyful trek. Thank you for every things. Thank you to lead me there at ABC. It was so wonderful and I couldn't forget this experience.
Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.
I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
Kumar has a very kind heart to help me arranging logistics before and during my volunteer work in Kathmandu. He also guided me with my city tour and mountain trekking after my volunteer work. He can always surprised me with brilliant suggestions.
