Welcome:
Gurla Mandata Expeditions Tibet
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 inhabitants call it the Namo Nanyi meaning
"Fairy's Peak". Gurla Mandhata is made up of six
ridges. The west ridge is shaped like a fan and stretched across
from north to south, while the eroded east ridge forms extremely
steep cliffs. Also to the north lies the holy lake Manasorover
and Langatso.
Gurla Mandhara 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.
