The
Nangpa La is the key to an historic trading
route still used illicitly today to bring wood
from the Khumbu forests of Nepal to build houses
on the barren plains of Tibet. Mountaineers
driving south from Tingri toward this pass
en route Cho-Oyu or in more recent years the
Rongshar Chu and the challenge of menlungtse
(7181m), will be taken by the scale of this
deep divide in the Himalayan. Tingri (4350m)
where we spend further two nights acclimatizing.
Then we drive tingri to base camp 5000m along
rough way with jerking and bouncing through
grassy plain leading up to Chinese base camp.
We set up our camp at Tibet side base camp
and stay two nights or more, depending on how
everyone feels. We also make schedules of the
yaks by that time. Base camp is temporary but
comfortable affair with Nepali cook and dining
tent. Above the base camp is in the heart of
the Himalayan at 5700m surrounded by celestial
peaks. There is also the high pass called Nangpa
La nearby which is an old but still used yak
track trading route follows the big snow scoop
on the right in the between Nepal and Tibet.
Expedition begins when you arrive to Kathmandu
where you meet the staff of Ramdung Expedition
(P) Ltd. in the airport and transfer you to
hotel. Next day, we have introduction section
with other climbing members & Expedition
crews. Since then we make your Tibet visa and
other necessary document for Cho Oyu Expedition.
After 3 day, we drive you towards Nepal-Tibet
border up to the Friendship Bridge through
Arniko Highway, where the Chinese liaison officer
and Chinese transport meet us. The expedition
gears go by truck while we travel by Land cruiser
4wd or with comfortable Minibus. We take time
to acclimatize with one night at Zhangmu (2300m)
and two nights at Nyalam (3750m), which also
gives us the chance to trek up high hills for
acclimatization.
