Parchamo peak climbing happened in 1995 first time, and thereafter it became popular.  Pharchamo Peak is an attractive snow peak lying south of Tashi Lapcha. It has a north-by-northwest ridge, which rises from the crevassed glacier astride the Tashi Lapcha. The face of the ridge forms a uniform slope broken by crevasse and series rising from the rocky lower buttresses above the Drolambau Glaciers in the west.

Rolwaling valley is the main access to Pharchamo, though this route was closed for most of the 1980s due to potential dangers to porters crossing the Tashi Lapcha. The only other alternative route is from the Khumbu side via Namche Bazar and Thame.

Parchamo Peak (6,187m/20,300ft) is a piece of Rolwaling Himalayan Range that rises impressively as a trekking peak above from an adventurous high pass of Nepal Tashi Lapcha Pass (5,755MASL). The peak Parchamo was first climbed by Dennis Davis and Phil Boultbee in 1955AD. Rolwaling Parchamo Peak Climbing is a combination of less beaten Rolwaling Tashi Lapcha Pass Trek with Parchamo Peak Climbing Adventure.

Officially regulated day to day itinerary of 19 days Rolwaling Parchamo Peak Climbing adventure package trip with Nature Trail Trekking and Expeditions Private Limited begins after spending a day in capital city Kathmandu with a day guided sightseeing tour around world heritage sites of UNESCO, preparation of essential equipment checklists & to get permitted for Rolwaling Parchamo Peak Climbing.

Firstly we will have a full day scenic drive through green hills to reach at exact starting point of the trek. We begin our journey with several uphill and downhill through forest, cross numerous numbers of suspension bridges all the way to the Sherpa village of Simigaun, a junction point of Rolwaling Khola that is called Dovan and to another two Sherpa settlement villages of Beding and Na, followed by continuous views of Mt. Gaurishanka ranges.

Before having further ascended to high altitudes at Rolwaling Valley, Nature Trail team leader  will suggest to make a safe acclimatization day at Na village. We can make an exploration day worthwhile by making hike up to Yalung Peak Base Camp. Continue our journey gradually with more wildernesses towards Tsho Rolpa Lake, Drolambu Glacier and to Tashi Lapcha Camp via Tashi Lapcha La Pass at 5,755m. Tashi Lapcha Camp itself is a base camp of Rolwaling Parchamo Peak.

From Parchamo Peak Base Camp we start steep climb towards the summit through snow slopes, few crevasses and technical sections. Once we reach at the top, we will be rewarded by the views of world’s admirable mountains such as Cho-Oyu, Amadablam, Thamserku, Kusum Kanguru and many more snow-capped peaks.

After having a short and extraordinary time at the top, we safely retrace our steeps via same descends to Tashi Lapcha Camp and follow rather easy trail to Lukla via Namche Bazaar with a wonderful adventure experience of Rolwaling Parchamo Peak Climbing.

Once our trail merge into the main trails of Everest Trekking, we can also expand our holiday duration up to Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar, Gokyo, Chola Pass, Renjo La Pass etc.
