Nirekha Peak is situated in Mahalangur Region, and in-between Cho-yu and Everest deep in the Himalayas, close to the Tibetan border .This peak recently has it been opened in 2005 up to Japanese climber than it called Nirekha. The climb itself is relatively straightforward, though it does require ice-axe, crampons and some fixed rope needs approximately 1200 meters. It’s a very use able climb for anyone in good shape and with a desire for high adventure expedition. A great summit lies in the heart of the Khumbu Region. The peak is located in the same chain as the Lobuche summits, just East of the Cho La Col (not to be confused with the famous Cho La pass that is only a few hundred meters away). The normal ascent to the Nirekha Peak is a great and - depending on the conditions - difficult climb. Only experienced climbers should attempt this route, though it is partially saved with fixed ropes.

The summit consists of two summit pyramids. It is unclear which one is higher. Clearly the (North Summit is real summit 6159 m), North summit is easier, but requires crossing a difficult crevasse, while the South summit requires one pitch in steep (50°) ice. Nirekha peak has two routes to climb as one from Kanchung base camp and another from Lake base camp. The ascent from the Kanchung side is to be preferred on this itinerary since it is easier and shorter. The glacier to the Cho-La Col on the Kanchung side is easy with only a few mostly harmless crevasses. The ascent is mostly in ice and snow, and is comparable to big alpine routes such as the Monch or Bernina. Despite of the relatively small height difference, it demands an excellent condition and acclimatization. This is quite technical but from the top it is one of the best scenery of the world. From the top you’ll have an opportunity to see the best view of many high mountains as Mount Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mount Nuptse, Mt. Cho-yu and other surrounding Himalayan ranges

Mount Nirekha Peak Climbing in winter (December to February)
Winter is definitely for the more experienced trekker. The weather is unpredictable, and trails can change in hours due to snow. The sky will most likely be clear, and the scenery changes daily as snow drifts in.  On the positive side, fewer trekkers will be on the trail and lodges.  But if this is for you, let’s discuss the possibilities as lodges often close for the winter as locals go down to lower altitudes to wait out the cold so honestly inform you everyone winter is more dificult for high mountains above 6000 meters climb because of high risk so choose the best time of the year Autumn / Spring for Nirekha Climbing recommendable.
