Nirekha peak is located east of the Cho La pass in the same chain as the Lobuche summits. It is situated in the Solukhumbu district of the Khumbu region. It is located at an elevation of 6,159 meters. It is Nepal’s newly opened Himalayan Peak. It is close to the Tibetan border. This route should only be attempted by experienced climbers, although it is partially saved by fixed ropes. It is classified as a trekking peak in the A category.

The trail winds through beautiful Rhododendron forests and traditional Sherpa villages such as Pangboche, Pheriche, and Dhole. The Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri Treks are two distinct Everest alternative treks. Rather, it takes us to the blue Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri, from which we can see Everest and the Himalayas. The massive Ngozumpa Glacier and the Gokyo valley can also be seen from Gokyo Ri. The views from the Nirekha peak are amazing, and the stunning high ridge climb makes the path to the top even more memorable. Several techniques in safe mountain travel at high elevations will be taught and tested during the trek, including glacier hiking, climbing, and moving on mixed snow and ice terrain.

After a 30-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla’s small airport, the journey truly begins. We spend the next few days traveling and socializing with the Sherpa mountain people, staying in local lodges, and trekking into the heart of their villages. Walk from Lukla to Phakding on the first day of your trek. On a trail packed with Mani stones and mule packs, you walk through Sherpa settlements and pine forests. Cross suspension bridges and walk alongside yak Pastures, whose bells fill the peaceful mountaintop. You will be walking alongside the Dudhkoshi River for the duration of the trek. We will spend restful days in Namche bazaar villages, allowing us to explore the region and acclimate, both of which are essential. As we ascend and descend through the hills, passing through the villages of Phortse Tenga, Dole, and Machhermo, we will arrive at the Gokyo valley. From Gokyo, we will hike up to Dragnang village, where we will enjoy the view, and then up to Nirekha base camp, where we will acclimate properly before moving on to High camp, where we will prepare for the summit. We will climb to the top of Nirekha Peak and then return to basecamp. We will continue down to Dzongla via Chola pass. Our journey will come to an end in Lukla.

Is this trek appropriate for you?

• This trek includes 17 days of strenuous climbing. You’ll be trekking for 6 to 7 hours per day, reaching elevations of over 6000 meters at times. We cannot overestimate the importance of being in excellent physical shape and health, which requires training before your trip to ensure that you are properly prepared.
• This is the trek for you if you have previous rock climbing or wall climbing experience. It is recommended that you have prior experience with high-altitude trekking.
• The weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, and every year a large number of flights to or from Lukla are delayed or canceled because of weather conditions, so you should plan accordingly.
• The teahouses, or trekking lodges, where we stay on the trek are very basic, with just basic services. Hot water may not be accessible at all times and may be charged extra, as will access to electrical outlets for charging electronics. Wi-Fi is available in some areas, although the quality of the connection may be poor.
• The path twists and turns through challenging terrain. At 6,159 meters, you’ll reach the highest peak. Because of the weather, isolation, and high altitude of this walk, it’s critical to take it carefully and stay hydrated.
