Himalayan Meets

Since 1995, the club has arranged seven Himalayan meets to Nepal, Ladakh, Bhutan and Sikkim, four were treks and three were treks with mountaineering objectives.

The most recent was a camping trek in Eastern Nepal to Kanchenjunga’s South and North Base Camps in 2018.

This image shows Kabru (7412m), Rathong (6682m) and Koktang (6147m) peaks towering over our camp in the ablation valley beside the lateral moraine of the Yalung glacier above Ramche and close to the South Base Camp. The next day, we trekked along the top of the moraine to Oktang, a large chorten with its tridents, bells, oil bowls and the ashes of holy juniper fires, beneath lines of fluttering prayer flags, where a sizeable landslip beyond prevented any further progress towards the South Base Camp.
