KYAJO-RI PEAK CLIMBING 2024 & 2025
Kyajo Ri Peak Climbing (6186m) 2024 & 2025
Kyazo Ri ( Gya-CHO) is a climbing peak, situated in the Khumbu Himal just north of Namche Bazaar, is a long line of peaks continuing all the way to Cho Oyu on the Nepalese Tibetan border. With the Thame valley to the west and Gokyo valley to the east the 6186m high Kyazo Ri is the highest summit on the southern part of this ridge.
The Kyajo Ri peak was officially opened to climbing by the Nepalese Ministry of Tourism in 2002 and listed on group 'A' climbing peak by Nepal Mountaineering Association. The first ascent was made that year by a French/British team. The good route to climb the Kyajo Ri peak is from Mende, (the village in Thame side from Namche) and the other route is from Machhermo side, in the Gokyo valley.
Kyajo Ri is a spectacular, and very beautiful mountain.
The standard ascent of Kyajo Ri from base camp at around 4,600 metres to Camp 1 at over 5200 metres involves a 2 hour hike over a grassy spur and boulders. Camp 1 to Camp 2 involves some technical climbing. It is a difficult expedition among the listed trekking peaks by Nepal mountaineers Association. There is significant technical climbing at high altitude. Though the technical challenges are there, it is less complicated compared to other higher expedition and cheaper when it comes to climbing permits because Kyajo Ri has been classified as a "Trekking Peak".
