Mount Gurla Mandata Expedition
This spectacular Gurla Mandata massif makes up part of the western
section
on the Himalayan Himal lying in the Burang Country of Tibet. It is a
close
neighbour to the sacred Mount Kailash, which lies to its north. The
local
people call it the Namo Nani means the "Fairy's Peak" and it is made of
with six ridges. The west ridge is like the Fan shaped and East Ridge
is
with very much steeper cliffs. Towards its North the holy lake
Manasarovar
and Langatse are situated. Gurla Mandata's base camp is situated on the
on
the glacier at 5600m, high.
Gurla Mandata was first climbed in 1985 by a Sino-Japanese expedition.
This
7000er has been climbed only five times since the first ascent up until
now. This is rather amazing given the fact that the mountain was
attempted
as early as 1902.The ascent takes place on the northern slope through
the
Zalompa glacier. The scenery is magnificent; down below stretches the
arid
Tibetan plateau enhanced in beauty by the sparkling lakes Manasorovar
and
Rakyas with Mount Kailash as the backdrop. The climbing is relatively
safe
with the route crossing the left side of the glacier to reach a plateau
under the summit's ridge. Base camp is at the foot of the glacier at
5600m.
The famous mount Kailash peak and Manasarovar Lake are on the way to
this
Gurla Mandata Expedition trip and mostly the Indian Hindu visitors are
found thronging to visit these holy places as pilgrimage in a huge
number.
