Overview
Less popular trekking destination Pharchamo is also known as Parchemuche. Also spelled as Pachhermo peak itself lies to the south of Tasi Lapcha and is a rather uncomplicated snow peak.
Not marked in normal Rolwaling Himal map, but is given a spot height of 6,187 meters. Lamasangu to Everest map calls this peak as Parchoma, which is quite possibly a misspelling.
Both Shipton’s and Gregory’s expedition surveys gave this the peak an altitude close to 6,318 meters.
Seen from the top of Tasi Lapcha pass, this mountain Parchamo is an attractive but undemanding snow peak with a well-defined north-by-north west ridge rising from the relatively flat.
1st ascend
Pharchamo Peak was first climbed in 1955.
The face of the ridge forms a uniform slope broken by crevasses rising from the rocky lower buttresses above the Drolambau Glaciers in the west.
Tasi Lapcha pass trekking route in the history
Rolwaling valley is the main access to Pharchamo Peak, although this route was closed in 1980s due to the potential dangers to porters crossing the Tashi Lapcha. The only other alternative route is from the Khumbu side via Namche Bazaar and Thame.
Parchamo Peak has become an adventurous climbing destination for trekkers crossing the high Tasi Lapcha (5755m) to Namche Bazaar in the Everest region.
Trek Route & Variation
For Pharchamo Peak combined with the more demanding Ramdung Go peak. We follow the trekking trail to Thame and then Thengpo to Ngole to set up the base camp on the moraines at 5100m elevation only other alternative route is from the Khumbu side via Namche Bazaar.
As we climb we arrive at another possible campsite but not advisable to set up the camp due to often rock falling.
We continue this exciting adventure by climbing northeast of the icefall Tesi Lapcha and arrive just below the rock walls where we fix the high camp on rocky terraces at altitude 5,500m. From here, we achieve the edge of Pacharmo Peak which is raised from the glaciers of Tesi Lapcha Pass.
We follow the ridge with less difficulty however, at times the crevasses can cause some problems near to the summit.
In the end
After a rich Himalayan trekking experience, our Pharchamo Peak trip will end at the Lukla airstrip. Descending through the traditional trade center Namche Bazaar ending part of Pacharchamo peak climbing route is amazing towards the end.
