Kyajo Ri (6,186m \/ 20,295 ft) is a trekking peak in the Khumbu region of north-east Nepal, located north-west of \ub0a8\uccb4\ubc14\uc790<\/a> in the Bhote Koshi valley. The peak lies at approximately 27 degrees 52 minutes north latitude and 86 degrees 42 minutes east longitude, in the Sagarmatha National Park. Kyajo Ri was first climbed in 1993 by a joint Nepali-Slovak expedition via the south-west face. The Nepal Mountaineering Association classifies it as a Group A trekking peak, but it is significantly less crowded than other Khumbu peaks such as Island Peak and Lobuche<\/a> East.\n\nThe standard route climbs the south-west face, with Base Camp at approximately 4,500m in the Kyajo Drangka valley and a High Camp at around 5,200m. The summit push involves climbing a glacier and 45-55 degree snow and ice slopes on the upper mountain, with some short vertical steps that require fixed ropes. The technical difficulty is rated PD+ on the Alpine grading system, similar to Island Peak. Climbers should have basic mountaineering experience or attend the training day at Base Camp.\n\nKyajo Ri is one of the least-climbed of the major Khumbu trekking peaks, offering a true wilderness climbing experience away from the crowds of the Everest Base Camp<\/a> trail. The approach takes a less-traveled route from Namche Bazaar through the villages of Thame<\/a> and Mende, then up the remote Kyajo Drangka valley. The summit rewards climbers with views of Everest (8,849m), Lhotse (8,516m), Makalu (8,485m), Cho Oyu (8,188m), and the entire Khumbu range.\n\nThe region is culturally Tibetan Buddhist Sherpa homeland, with traditional villages, ancient monasteries at Thame and Khumjung<\/a>, and prayer walls along the trail. The Thame valley is one of the least-visited parts of the Khumbu, with authentic Sherpa culture and the famous Thame Monastery, one of the oldest in the region. The best climbing seasons are spring (April-May) and autumn (October-November).<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"All airport pickups and drops in private vehicle\nKathmandu hotel (3 nights, B&B) with welcome and farewell dinners\nDomestic flights where applicable to itinerary\nAll ground transport in private vehicle\nAll necessary permits (TIMS, National Park, Conservation Area, Restricted Area where applicable)\nThree meals daily (BLD) during the trek with tea\/coffee\nTea house or camping accommodation during the trek\nExperienced English-speaking trekking guide and assistant guide for groups of 6+\nPorters (1 per 2 trekkers, 15kg luggage allowance) with full insurance\nSleeping bag, down jacket, and duffel bag (refundable deposit)\nFirst-aid kit, pulse oximeter, and emergency oxygen\nSatellite phone for emergency communications\nAll government and local taxes\nNMA Peak Permit fee\nClimbing guide (Sherpa, NNMGA-certified)\nClimbing equipment (crampons, ice axe, harness, helmet, ropes, carabiners)\nHigh camp tents and cooking equipment\nFixed ropes on summit day\nEmergency oxygen at base camp\nSatellite phone for emergency communication","cost_excludes":"International airfare to and from Kathmandu\nNepal visa fee (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days)\nTravel and high-altitude rescue insurance (mandatory)\nPersonal trekking gear and clothing\nHot showers, Wi-Fi, device charging, and alcoholic beverages\nLunch and dinner in Kathmandu\nTips for guide, porter, and driver (recommended 10-15% of trip cost)\nCosts from unforeseen events (weather, flight delays, route changes)","itineraries":[{"title":"\uce74\ud2b8\ub9cc\ub450 \ub3c4\ucc29","content":"\n
