Mt. Dorje Lakpa (6,966m) is located at the solid mass of Jugal Himal in Nepal, east side of Langtang Valley and south of Mt. Shishapangma and Tibet border. The normal route for the Dorje Lakpa peak is described that it is a good technique in ice is essential and we envisage placing fix ropes in the favorable places, which will help climbing team to achieve their goal over mountain. Dorje Lakpa first attempt and successful climb recorded is by a Japanese expedition in the late 1960s by the west ridge.

Dorje Lakpa Camp (i) will be at an altitude (5,400m) and is well sheltered. Camp (ii) will be at an altitude (6,100m) which does not exceed latitude and longitude 40º to 45º and is nicely visible from the Base Camp. As per the condition of the climate during climbing, we may place a safety camp between summit and Camp (ii). After finishing the climbing days we disassemble the high camp and return to Kathmandu by the same route as we heading before from Syabru Bensi.
