Trip Overview

Kwangde Peak (6,086m) is known as Kongde which is one of the most challenging peaks climbing of the Khumbu region which forms an imposing multi climbing ridge on the Eastern end of the Lumding Himal. It is considered as part of the Rolwaling Himal that is situated at the South-West of Namche Bazar just above the Bhote Koshi following along Tibet. This peak is secreted at the Northern part up to the Lumding Drangka that stands at high and remote valley surrounded by the tumbling glaciers of Khartang (6,853m), Numbur (6,959m) and Karyolung (6,511m).
