Shishapangma expedition from kerung autumn

Mount Shishapangma 8027m the 14th Highest Peak in the world. Mount Shishapangma is one of the very lovely mountains of China, which lies in the autonomous region of China called Tibet, Only a very few people in the world had an idea about mount Shishapangma before the Chinese opened Tibet to the western summiteers in 1978. The Tibetans regard it as a very holy mountain. It is the youngest mountain among the peaks situated above the height of 8000m, and there are only fourteen mountains above the 8000m high Himalayan ranges. Till to date, many climbers have succeeded to approach its apex.

Route: The North-West normal route to mount Shishapangma takes us up easy angled snow slopes to 35 degrees with one steeper section. The necessary lines will be fixed and placed on the steeper or crevassed sections. Following our acclimatization in Syabrubesi and dzongkha, we will arrive at the Base camp (5000m.) to make ready our final preparations and acclimatization walk. Yaks transport our expedition gear from Base camp 5000m, to ABC at 5,400m. Three further camps will be placed to go ahead en-route.

Camp 1- 6,730m – After 6-7 hours walk, we reach camp 2 through crossing many snowy slopes by fixing ropes in the places of crevassed.

Camp 2 - 7,045m – After 5-6 hours, we reach camp 3 via steep ascent leading to the very gentle ground below the northwest ridge.

Camp 3 - 7,400m – From Camp 3, it takes 9-12 hours to reach the summit. The situation of the groups/climbers physical fitness; and also the favorable condition of the weather depends on the climbing ahead.

Sometimes the extra additional days are also required for acclimatization at different places until climbers succeed the summit. If the climber succeeds the mountaineering early than the scheduled tenure, they may leave the base camp before the prescribed time as well.
