Ombigaichen Peak Climbing

Mt. Ombigaichen, situated proudly at the elevation of 6,340 meters above sea level in Mahalangur range of Khumbu Region of Nepal, is one of the demanding peaks to be climbed. The peak is one of the rarely climbed peaks which were recently opened for climbers in 2002 and is categorized as group ‘A’ climbing peak by Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). However, Ombigaichen Peak climbing trip is a spectacular and magnificent adventure into the most famous Khumbu Region of Nepal offering mesmerizing views of high mountains like Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Baruntse, Ama Dablam and various other peaks.

However, the trip itinerary of Ombigaichen Peak Climbing is designed in such a way to avoid gradual ascend and descend (optional in peak climbing) with proper acclimatization for making your trip easy, comfortable, enjoyable and explorative. As usual in every higher elevation trip in Nepal or towards Nepal’s Himalayas, the best time to make your journey is March-May and September – November.
