This is an opportunity to accompany the Challenge8000 team during their approach march and acclimatising mountain. The mountain we will attempt, Nirekha (6150m), is a little known peak with a great view. From the summit the panorama includes Pumori, Cho Oyu, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest. You can look right into the Western Cwm. This mythic place was first explored by Eric Shipton in 1951, who thereby proved that the great mountain could be climbed from Nepal. We will be trekking through not only foreign lands but also into the past.
