HIMALAYAN EXPEDITIONS SARPHU

ALL HIMALAYAN EXPEDITIONS ARE ON HOLD

Each year people flock to the high Himalaya trying to stand on their chosen summit be it for the experience or simply to enhance their desktop screensaver – the motivation to succeed is highly emotional yet usually simple. Very few of these Himalayan expeditions are exploratory and far fewer visit the quieter regions of Nepal.

The ‘honeypot’ areas such as Everest and Annapurna are the primary trekking areas which along with their popular climbing peaks continue to develop and attract most visitors. As with any tourist-related destination in the world, the honeypots get richer while the lesser-known areas receive little or no attention and fail to develop.

In 2021, our Himalayan Expeditions Sarphu will attempt an ascent of Sarphu IV which at present is part of a chain of unclimbed mountains in the Kanchenjunga region. Although this region does see a flow of trekkers each season it is hugely underdeveloped compared to the Khumbu yet every bit as impressive and awe-inspiring as Annapurna.

Attempting Himalayan Expeditions where very few have been before requires commitment both emotionally and financially. As such, expeditions such as these do come with a degree of uncertainty and are not for the fainthearted mountaineer. Participants joining us on this expedition can be safe in the knowledge that many months of research and prior investigation into the validity of this trip has been done and the support from our in-country Nepalese team is amongst the best in the country.
