Itinerary description
|
The Nangkartshang is a mountain located just above Dingboche, and its southern summit is a point that many hikers who want to reach the Everest Base Camp know to perform such an important acclimatization.
To start, I head to the lower area of Dingboche to go in search of a path that goes up to a stupa, from which we begin to see Dingboche from the height.
From here another path leaves, which in gentle ascent leads us to another stupa from which we can see Dingboche well, as well as the path that we must take tomorrow to continue with our route.
Now we are advancing along the tailpiece, all of which are crowned by milestones of prayer joined by flags, for which it is quite comfortable to move forward due to the smoothness of its inclination in this first section.
From here the inclination begins to tighten in a labyrinth of paths, but that all of them are taking us upwards without giving us truce.
After a while of ascent we arrive at a group of flags located in a small esplanade, perfect place to take a break, which we begin to be at a considerable height and the lack of oxygen begins to be noticed.
Now we move away from the tailpiece and begin to climb a steep slope of ties that help us overcome the slope much more smoothly, although at this point the pace is slow but steady, something essential if we want to be able to climb without getting tired and acclimatize best.
As we ascend the terrain becomes more rocky, but not only have to look forward, it is worth stopping and looking back to contemplate Ama Dablan and the beautiful lake at its feet.
The last section of the climb becomes a small rock, very easy to travel, in which it is not necessary to even support your hands.
Finally, after a good while of ascent we reach the top of the Nangkartshang, at 5,073 meters high, located on a sharp ridge, that if we wanted to continue we would need appropriate material to be able to get bound and secure the passage.
The views from here are impressive, with Ama Dablam and Makalu as the main protagonists of the environment.
Here it is ideal to stay a couple of hours to acclimatize.
The return is made by the same route of ascent.
