Overview

4th Highest Trekking Peak in Nepal

In the most amazing mountainous amphitheaters of the world and near to the Annapurna South is this beautiful mountain, first discovered by Col. Jimmy Roberts, and later named by Roberts.

Expert climbers though consider this peak 'not difficult' to summit but rather than the success by easier attempts, the expedition route is the most complicated as its not well defined. The most possible risks involved are due to the rock fall & the huge avalanches very often compel the expedition teams to descent back immediately or change the route.
