Pachharmo Peak
(Rolwaling Himal) (6273m.)
Pachharmo peak (6273m) lies south of the
Tesi Lapcha and, when seen from the pass
the mountain is really attractive. It is
a straightforward snow peak first
climbed in 1955 along a well defined
north-by-northwest ridge rising from a
relatively flat, but crevassed, glacier
that is still the main route to the
summit. The Rolwaling valley is the main
access to Pachharmo, We climb north-east
of the icefall of Tesi Lapcha, setting
up a high camp just below rock walls at
5,500m. From this camp we gain the ridge
of Parcharmo, following it without much
difficulty - but watching for crevasses
which can cause problems near the
summit. The approach trek to Pachharmo
in the Rolwaling Himal leads through a
region which has remained untouched by
western civilization and groups of
trekkers are not often seen, even in the
peak trekking seasons. The scenery is
outstanding, the route leads along
beautiful river valleys before emerging
in high alpine country and there are
excellent views of Gaurisankar,
Melungtse and many other great peaks.
Crossing the Tashi Laptsa pass is
challenging and calls for some
mountaineering experience.
