The Everest region is fertile land for several peak climbers and expeditions. Kyajo–Ri is another name for Machermo Peak. The Machermo Peak climbing falls on the way to the Gokyo Valley Trek. Few people have climbed the peak, and less traffic on the path, making the trek an amalgamation of serenity and beauty. The less-trodden way is far off from urbanization and globalization. It provides a recluse from day-to-day busy life, while rocky meadows and moraines from the base of the peak end with a climb up to the snowy slopes.

Once reaching the top, trekkers are blessed with views of the pristine snow-capped mountains of the Gokyo valley, including the Ama Dablam, Lhotse Shar, Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse, among many others.

The Machermo peak climbing route commences like the Gokyo Ri trek with a scenic flight to Lukla. The trip to Lukla is one of the most beautiful flights worldwide, filled with exclusive views of the snow-capped mountains. The trail gradually uphill to the Namche Bazaar, an age-old trading location between Indian, Tibetan, and Nepalese inhabitants. It is acclimatizing here to suit one's body to the climatic conditions.

After a day of acclimatization, the trek continues towards Dole, Machermo, and Gokyo Valley. Gokyo Ri, another beautiful viewpoint саn visit from Gokyo village. Next on the trail is the Machermo Base Camp, which is upon rocky terrains and moraine. The climbing period of Machermo Peak is a 2-day job, but the summit is at 6273 meters. Upon reaching the top, hypnotic views of the mountain range all around саn aspect to satiate the mind and once doing above all, retracing the same track back home.

Upper mustang trek

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!

A wonderful experience!

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.

Impressive tent trekking Dolpo 2023

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

Honest & Friendly

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.

Reliable and responsible

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.
