Ramdung Peak Climbing

Situated south of Na in the upper Rolwaling, Ramdung, also called Ramdang-Go on the Schneider map, is one of a cluster or peaks around the Yalung La (5310m/17421ft), a pass giving access to the upper Rolwaling from the south , via the Khare Khola.

This form of mountaineer in the exploration of unknown peaks, glaciers and valleys, the finding and crossing of new passes to connect one area with another, the most fascinating occupation I know. The variety of experience, the constantly changing scene, the gradual unfolding of the geography of the range are deeply satisfying, for they yield a very real understanding, almost a sense of personal possession, of the country explored.

Although the mountain by its normal route of ascent, the glaciers of the North-East Flank, is straightforward, its virtues lie in its magnificent position and splendid summit panorama that ranges from Langtang to Everest and provides a splendid view of Gauri Shankar and Menlungtse.
