Ramjak Expedition 2025 (6318m) – GoClimbUp
Mt. Ramjak (6,318 M) stands as a technical challenge in the Lahaul Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh. Known for its steep ridges, glaciated slopes, and exposed alpine terrain, the peak offers a true Himalayan climbing experience similar in nature to the famed Shivling Peak.
Ramjak Peak is located in the Lahaul Valley, where the culture blends Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism. Inhabitants celebrate festivals from both traditions, with many following a combination of Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism, particularly the Drukpa Kagyu order. The region is home to several monasteries and temples, including the Trilokinath temple, representing the coexistence of both religions. Lahaul is in the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau, bordered by the Spiti Valley, Kullu Valley, and Chamba district. The Chandra and Bhaga rivers form the Chenab River. Lahaul is connected to nearby valleys via Rohtang and Kunzum passes, with a dry, cold climate.
This expedition is designed for climbers who want to go beyond trekking peaks and test themselves on a technical 6,000er, supported by world-class Sherpas and a highly experienced mountaineering team.
Climbers can expect:
- Technical ice & snow climbing
- Rope work, glacier travel & crevasse navigation
