An Unheard Gem of the Annapurnas! 🏔️ - Exped with Seven Summit Treks !

Annapurna IV (7 525 m) isn’t your typical 7 000er—and that’s exactly why it’s special. Nestled between Annapurna II (7 937 m) and the enigmatic Sabche Gap, this striking peak sees few climbers, offering a true wilderness challenge in the heart of the Annapurna range.

In 2025, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first ascent of Annapurna I, we’re launching a commemorative Annapurna IV expedition this autumn—honouring the pioneers who opened the Annapurna frontier.

This is no walk-up: you’ll need solid high-altitude techniques, confidence on mixed terrain, and strong self-management skills. With thorough preparation, seamless logistics, and the support of our veteran Sherpa team, your Annapurna IV climb can be both safe and profoundly rewarding.

Expedition dates: 1 October – 4 November 2025

100 REASONS WHY HIMLUNG HIMAL 🏔️ IS THE BEST AUTUMN CLIMB OF 2025!
đź“Ť7126 meters | Damodar Himal | Nar-Phu Valley

C’mon, you certainly aren’t serious about 100 reasons, are you?
However, here’s why Himlung is special:

Whether you’re training for Everest, attempting your first 7000er, or looking for a safer 7000er, — Himlung offers a rare combination of safety, accessibility, and climbing thrill. Its long snowy flanks allow for technical progression, ski attempts, and efficient acclimatization, while remaining relatively free from objective hazards.

The basecamp lies deep inside Nar-Phu, a valley that preserves a distinct cultural and geographical identity in the north of Manang. The approach is remote but rewarding. With our level of basecamp setup, communication, and logistics, all handled by a team that’s been here season after season, you’ll have a great time on this peak!

Expedition departs October 2025.

An Unheard Gem of the Annapurnas! 🏔️

Annapurna IV (7525 m) is not your typical 7000er—and that’s exactly the point.

Standing between Annapurna II (7937 m) and the mysterious Sabche Gap, this striking peak is no commonly climbed, offering a true wilderness experience in the heart of the Annapurna range.

In 2025, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first ascent of Annapurna I, we announce a special expedition to Annapurna IV this autumn — paying tribute to the pioneers who opened the Annapurna frontier.

This is no straightforward walk-up. The mountain demands strong fundamentals in high-altitude climbing, mixed terrain, and self-management. But with proper preparation, top-notch logistics, and the support of our veteran Sherpa team, your Annapurna IV expedition can be both safe and deeply rewarding.

2. K2 (8611 m) 🏔️
– Karakoram Range, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan / Xinjiang, China

Important notes:
1. Widely regarded as the toughest mountain on Earth. K2 is steep, technical, and brutally unforgiving. Reinhold Messner calls it the Mountain of Mountains.
2. Rescue in Pakistan is strictly authorized to the Pakistani Army which might lead to delay. Insurance is a must - get the best one if possible.

K2 rises like a dagger at the confluence of the Godwin-Austen and Savoia Glaciers. Though lower than Everest, its difficulty is on a different scale. Weather windows are short, and technical sections start early and never let up. This is a mountain where mistakes aren’t survived.

The route begins at K2 basecamp (5150 m) which already comes after a tough trek. The Advanced Base Camp (5300 m) sits right below the massive east wall and takes some 3 hrs from BC. The real climb begins now — steep snow slopes and ice sections lead to the Camp 1 (6000 m), perched on a slanted ledge with constant rock and avalanche risk.

Above, a direct, exposed line of mixed ice and rock leads to Camp 2 (6760 m). A sharp climb through House’s Chimney — a tight 30-meter crack — marks one of the key cruxes. The camp itself sits on a rare flat, but climbers need caution stepping out.

The climb to Camp 3 (7350 m) brings the Black Pyramid — 15 minutes of sustained mixed climbing on fixed lines. At 7350 meters, oxygen use usually starts here. Slippery terrain and altitude-related risks rise significantly.

Camp 4 (7950 m) lies higher on a mildly crevassed slope. It’s the launch pad. The summit push starts late at night, reaching the Bottleneck — the mountain’s most feared section. A fragile traverse below hanging seracs leads to a 100-meter ice climb. After that, the final ridge softens, but fatigue and time pressure peak. Most summits happen between 8–10 am.

Overall, K2 is not for beginners. It’s a serious 8000er for professional climbers with high-altitude experience and sharp technical ability. If you’re chasing challenge over fame — this is the one.

Next and last 8000er tomorrow.

3. Kanchenjunga (8586 M) 🏔️
– Kanchenjunga Range, Nepal / Sikkim, India

Important notes:
1. Govt. of Nepal has revised the royalty fee for Kanchenjunga from USD 1800 to USD 3000 in spring, effective Sep 1, 2025.
2. Despite being open to climbers, Kanchenjunga is considered sacred. In 1955, the Chogyal (King) of Sikkim requested the British party not to step on the summit. Band and Brown respected this, halting a few feet below the top.

The easternmost 8000er, Kanchenjunga lies on the Nepal–India border with a north–south summit ridge. It has both north and south basecamps in Nepal and a commanding presence from Darjeeling. Before 1852, it was believed to be the world’s highest.

Basecamp is positioned on a moraine above the confluence of the East and West Yalung glaciers. A glacier-heavy approach and middle camp from Ramche are required. The site is secure and environmentally low-impact.

The route begins on a snowy slope toward Camp 1, with a shoulder and vertical section before reaching tents. Some exposed areas pose rockfall and avalanche risks, so sticking to the fixed ropes is key.

Above the Yalung icefall, a vast snowfield forms Camp 2. From here, climbers cross a ridge and descend onto a rocky zone with mild rockfall risk, then continue through steep snowfields toward Camp 3.

Perched on an eastern serac, Camp 3 is compact and increasingly serious. A steep 1.5-hour ascent leads to a flat stretch and crevasse zone, followed by the final camp.

Camp 4 lies high on a wide snow plateau. The summit push begins around 9–10 pm, crossing large snowfields, then a couloir leading to the Om Cave. Steep ice and a final chimney climb end in a 30-min exposed traverse to the summit.

Overall, Kanchenjunga is a tough 8000er with remote access, long way up, and technical sections. But the rewards are immense. We’ve operated expeditions here for years with veteran Sherpa teams and precise logistics.

Next 8000er tomorrow!

4. Lhotse (8516 M) 🏔️
– Mahalangur Range, Nepal / Tibet, China

Important notes:
1. Govt. of Nepal has revised the royalty fee for Lhotse from USD 1800 to USD 3000 in spring, effective Sep 1, 2025.
2. The Khumbu Icefall is the most treacherous section. It’s a frozen river of shifting seracs and has caused many fatalities on the Everest–Lhotse route.

Lhotse, the 4th highest mountain, lies just south of Everest. “Lhotse” means South Peak in Sherpa. It shares the same base camp as Everest and forms a horseshoe arc with Nuptse to the west.

Climbing begins at Everest-Lhotse BC (5400m). The route immediately enters the Khumbu Icefall — a maze of crevasses, towering ice blocks and ladders. It’s vital to cross early in the day and quickly. Camp 1 (6100m) lies above the icefall.

Camp 1 to Camp 2 (6400m) is a relatively gentle section along the upper Khumbu Glacier, with occasional crevasses. Camp 2 sits below Everest’s SW face and acts as a secondary base camp.

Camp 2 to Camp 3 climbs the Lhotse Face — a massive, steep, blue-ice wall. Camp 3 (7300m) is placed mid-slope on a chopped-out platform.

From C3, climbers continue up the face, crossing the Yellow Band. While Everest climbers veer left, the route to Lhotse Camp 4 (7800m) goes straight, ending below Lhotse’s upper wall.

Summit push begins early night. The route climbs the steep west face, often with deep snow and gusty winds. The final section is the narrow Lhotse Couloir, which leads directly to the summit. Climbers generally reach the top around sunrise. On a clear day, the summit offers sweeping views of Everest, Makalu, Cho Oyu — even Kanchenjunga and Shishapangma in the distance.

Lhotse is considered a challenging 8000er. Because of its proximity to Everest, the route is fixed and supported — but make no mistake: it’s a serious mountain with long exposure and high altitude risks.

We’ve been organizing Lhotse expeditions for over a decade with expert logistics, experienced management, and a strong Sherpa crew.

5. Makalu (8485 M)
– Mahalangur Range, Nepal / Tibet, China

Important notes:
1. Govt. of Nepal has revised the royalty fee for Makalu from USD 1800 to USD 3000 in spring, effective Sep 1, 2025.
2. Summit push is long and exposed to high winds. Endurance and consistency matter.

Makalu, the 5th highest mountain, lies in the eastern Himalaya on the Nepal–China border, about 19 km SE of Everest. It stands out for its prominence and pyramid shape. Its faces feed Barun glacier, which gives rise to the Barun River. The French first summited it in 1955 — some had also been part of the first Annapurna I expedition.

The climb begins from base camp at 5600 m. Getting there from lower base means crossing Barun glacier, exposed to rockfall. The base camp itself is safe and sits atop a moraine ridge. BC to C1 is a long glacier walk. After a 2-hr climb to the crampon point, it’s about 3 more hours to Camp 1 (6100 m) on a snowfield.

C1 to C2 includes moderately crevassed snowfields and a steep 25 m section. C2 to C3 is shorter but steeper. C3 (7400 m) sits on the NW shoulder — windy, but safer. This is usually the last camp.

Summit push begins around 6 pm. SST’s senior guide Makalu Lakpa says: “First 1.5 hrs straight, then soft snow for a few hours. Then the French couloir and the last 2 hrs to the summit. The couloir is 300 m long, winds can be brutal.” Lakpa has summited Makalu 7 times — most ever — including 3 times in 16 days.

Makalu is a medium-grade 8000er. It’s steep, exposed, and requires endurance and moderate climbing skills. We’ve run Makalu expeditions for over a decade with solid logistics, expert management, and a veteran Sherpa team.

6. Cho Oyu (8188 M)
– Mahalangur Range, Nepal / Tibet, China

Important notes:
1. Cho Oyu is often known as the world’s most achievable 8000er, thus a great peak to begin the 8000er journey.
2. Because of its approach from the Chinese side, there are chances the mountain doesn’t open often. Accessibility is an issue.

Cho Oyu, the 6th highest mountain in the world, lies in the eastern Himalaya at the Nepal–China border. The Nepal side of Cho Oyu is a sheer vertical wall that has been climbed only a handful of times, so the Tibetan approach is popular. The mountain is especially known for being among the most accessible. After Everest, Cho Oyu is the most climbed 8000er.

The climbing route begins after a long road journey to Cho Oyu base camp, which lies to the immediate north of Nangpa La pass at around 5,700 meters. From BC, the route leads southeast to reach Camp 1 at around 6,400 meters. This is a long journey taking around 7–8 hours, but it isn’t very technical.

Now C1 to C2 is a relatively short ascent of some 4 hours. The route doesn’t have any hazardous sections and is a pretty straightforward climb. C2 sits on the northwest face at around 7,400 meters. The route from C2 to C3 is even shorter — it usually takes around 3 hours and isn’t technical but can be windy. This is the last camp before the summit.

The summit push begins from C3 at around 6–7 p.m. It will be a long journey. The route progresses up the NW face, beginning with a vast snowfield and continuing to the summit plateau. It’s a wide expanse — almost unbelievable at 8000 meters — and climbers must cross it entirely to reach the main summit, says Mikkel Sherpa, SST’s senior climbing guide. The summit offers majestic views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, and Shishapangma.

Overall, Cho Oyu is a fairly accessible 8000er. The main challenge sometimes becomes its approach, when Chinese authorities close it for mountaineering. We have organized Cho Oyu expeditions for over a decade with competent management, best-in-class logistics, and a veteran Sherpa crew.

Next 8000er tomorrow!

7. Dhaulagiri (8167m)

A swift guide to choose your 8000er 🏔️
Dhaulagiri Range, Nepal

Important notes:
Nepal has revised Dhaulagiri’s climbing royalty fee from USD 900 to USD 1500 in autumn, effective Sep 1, 2025.

Dhaulagiri dramatic vertical relief makes it highly exposed — to wind, clouds, and sudden weather systems.

Dhaulagiri, the 7th highest peak on Earth, towers above central Nepal. Once thought to be the world’s highest (until 1838), it remains one of the most visually striking 8000ers — visible even from Gorakhpur, India.

The expedition starts at base camp (4700m), at the confluence of the North Dhaulagiri and Tukuche West glaciers. The route to Camp 1 (~5800m) crosses crevassed glacier, loose rock, and avalanche-prone areas.

Climbing steepens from C1. Fixed ropes help on the snowfield and rock sections to Camp 2 (~6400m). The route is exposed and demands concentration.

From C2 to C3 is one of the hardest parts: ascending the NE ridge, then a 150m couloir. Mixed climbing skills, stamina, and composure are vital. A hanging serac must be negotiated before reaching C3 (~7400m), a narrow but somewhat sheltered spot. Some teams add a higher Camp 4.

The summit push usually begins around 7–8pm. The route rises up the NE face, then crosses east at ~7700m toward the French Couloir. From there, it’s typically another 20 minutes to the summit, usually reached around 9am.

Wind is a major factor on Dhaulagiri. Whiteouts are common due to sudden weather changes. Reliable forecasts and patience are essential.

Overall, Dhaulagiri is of moderate difficulty among 8000ers. Not as technical as K2 or Nanga Parbat, but far from easy. Strong endurance, mixed climbing ability, and careful pacing are key to success. We’ve led successful expeditions here for over a decade, and we’re organizing another this autumn.
