Pachermo Peak Climbing lies to the south part of the Tashi Lapcha La in Rolwaling. The technical pass leads us from the Rolwaling Valley to the Khumbu region. The view seen from the Tasi Lapcha Pass, Pachermo peak provides us a spectacular range of Himalayas. Furthermore, our Pachermo Peak high camp near the Tashi Lapcha La pass stands at an altitude of 5750m. Which is in another range, straightforward snow peak with a well-defined ridge. Its rises from the relatively flat, crevassed glacier seem some more difficult.

Our Sherpa helper will be carrying this food to the higher camps.
We ask only members to bring 5 dehydrated meals (freeze-dried dinners) for their summit attempt. On summit day you will be at high elevation and you will be affected by the altitude with minimal appetite and for a period so it is essential to have flavors you most likely will consume.
We cannot cater to specific personal and uncommon foods and flavors to the climber. If you have any unusual, non-standard or specific personal, cultural or religious dietary requirements, which can only be satisfied with the imported product, we ask you to bring your imported daily snack and energy foods on our references.
We are not able to provide “snack” food such as chocolate or “energy-bars”. We would ask you that bring or buy your own “snack” or daily cold energy food in Kathmandu or home country. From our experience 3-6 kilos/6-12 pounds is a sufficient amount for each. A growing variety of imported foods such as European and American cheeses, chocolates, biscuits, cookies, nuts, and locally made power-bars are now available in Kathmandu, at realistic prices. However, imported brands of power bars, GU, re-hydration drinks, dehydrated food, “freeze-dried meals”, imported cheese and sausage may not be available in Nepal. If you want these items, you must bring them along from a western country. Many of our members, especially Britons, Europeans, and Australians with tiny baggage allowances, now purchase their daily snacks in Kathmandu. we have enough time and schedule in Kathmandu for shopping or arranging Gear too.
