Overview

The Mount Nuptse  Expedition 7861 m Mountain is located in the Solu Khumbu district in eastern Nepal. The Nuptse  Himalayan Range is just southwest of Mount Everest.  The name ‘Nuptse‘ is derived from the Tibetan word. ‘Nuptse‘ literally means ‘West Peak‘. Neighboring Mount Everest and Mount Lhotse, Mount Nuptse is well recognized for its steep west face. It drops down more than 2300 meters to the Khumbu Glacier. Additionally, the steep and rocky south-face of Mount Nuptse is 2500 meters high and 5 kilometers wide. Island Peak Climbing

Dennis Davis and Tashi Sherpa made the first successful ascent of Mt Nuptse on May 16, 1961. Through the north-ridge (Scott-route) from the British Expedition team. The climb to the summit is very challenging and difficult but offers the experience of a lifetime achievement. Nuptse Expedition is an excellent opportunity for adventure-seeking climbers to gain ultimate climbing experience all being in the midst of the world’s towering mountains. Apart from the expedition, one gets to explore the flora and fauna within the Khumbu and Everest region of Nepal. Poon Hill Trek

Nuptse Expedition Cost and Itinerary

Nuptse Expedition with Sange Sherpa Adventure Trek starts at Kathmandu. After spending a couple of days sightseeing and making necessary preparation for the climb at Kathmandu. Then we will take a scenic flight from Kathmandu to the airstrip of Lukla. Lukla is a gateway to Khumbu and the entire Everest Region. Then, we start our trek on a trail that goes through a dense forest filled with Rhododendron, Oak, and Pine trees towards Namche Bazaar – The Sherpa Capital.

With good acclimatization days, our trek continues passing through Tyangboche, Dingboche, Lobuche as we head towards Nuptse Base Camp. As soon as we arrive at the base camp, our Sherpa crew will set up the camps and make necessary preparations needed for the Nuptse expedition.

Our experienced climbing experts give us instruction and guidance. Then we will spend several days with proper acclimatization and vision to reach the summit of Mount Nuptse. Our tiring and exhausting climb to the summit is rewarded with breathtaking views of high mountain valleys. The world’s towering mountains are within the Khumbu Himalayan Range.

After having achieved the summit, we will descend following the same route and head back to reach the base camp. From Base Camp, we return back to Lukla. Finally, our challenging and exceptional Nuptse Expedition ends with a sweeping flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu.
