Mt. Chamlang (7319m.) is a beautiful mountain lying in the Hungku and Barun valley southwest of Makalu). Mt. Chamlang Expedition routes crosses several high passes into Hunku valley as it climbs into the remote Barun Valley at the foot of Mt. Makalu, the world's fifth highest mountain, providing a splendid venue for more adventurous nature lovers. A Japanese expedition team member So Anma and a Nepali Sherpa Pasang Phutar Sherpa were the first to climb this mountain on the 31st May 1962 led by Takeo Okamoto. It is a steep forward mountain that demands good physical fitness and technical climbing. This peak boasts an absolutely stunning summit panorama that includes 5 of the world’s 8,000m. peaks and other smaller peaks: Everest, Kangchenjunga, Makalu, Cho-Oyu, Lhotse, and many other 7,000.m peaks including Baruntse, Ama Dablam, Pumori, Kangtega, Nuptse and other marvellous view around. Base Camp is situated at an altitude of 4200m. from where we set up 3 camps before attempting the summit (Camp I -5,200m.), (Camp II-5,700m.) and Camp III-6,300m). Far and above the most rewarding aspect of a trip to Chamlang peak is a chance to venture into an isolated and un-spoilt wilderness of massive moraines, glacial lakes and spectacular peaks climbing in Nepal and, also the amazing spectacle of sunrise on Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga Himalayas.
