Gurla Mandhata Expedition

Mt. Gurlamandata, otherwise known as Namo Nyani (The Fairy's Peak) is the near neighbour of sacred Mount Kailash, lying in the western Himalayas in the Burang region of Tibet. At an elevation of 7720 metres, it is composed of six ridges, the westernmost being fan-shaped while the eastern ridge has much steeper cliffs. Lake Manasarovar and Langatse are situated to the north of Gurlamandata, between it and Mount Kailash. The mountain's base camp, situated on a glacier, is at 5600 metres. Gurlamandata was first climbed by a joint Chinese/Japanese expedition in 1985 and has only been summitted a handful of times since. The ascent is via the Zalompa glacier, from the northern slope. Once the summit is reached, there are wonderful views of the sparkling waters of Lakes Manasarovar and Rakas, with the holy peak of Kailash beyond.

Climbing Sherpa for Himalayan:
We facilitate the provision of highly professional, well-trained and qualified climbing Sherpas for your expeditions. Some climbers try to avoid using Sherpa guides, but they inevitably encounter problems en route. Sherpas are highly recommended because they can provide all the practical and psychological support you need for your climb - and their assistance will help you conserve your valuable energy. The success rate of groups who climb with Sherpas is considerably higher than that of those who attempt the summits without their aid.
