Kwongde peak climbing also known as Kangde RI and Kwangde, Kwangdi RI is a difficult mountain to climb and stands at a height of 6,011 m. It forms an impressive multi-summited ridge at the eastern end of the Lumding Himal, which in turn is part of Rolwaling Himal. The mountain stands above the Bhote Koshi River to the southwest of Namche Bazaar. The northern part of the mountain forms an impressive barrier, having several steep ridges to the north.
The first ascent of Kwongde Lho was made by a Nepalese expedition in 1975 which was led by Kumar Khagdar and Bikram Shah. The actual summit was reached on 17 October by Lhakpa Tenzing. Sonam Gyalzen, Shambhu Tamang and Sonam Hisi via the South Ridge.
All the routes climbed to date on the Kwongde Peaks are difficult; none have proved suitable for commercial trekking peak expeditions. The routes on the North Face are particularly difficult and reflect recent developments in lightweight Himalayan climbing, with an emphasis on technical difficulty and a high degree of commitment. They have invariably been made by two climbers without support camps or fixed ropes, although in at least one case a subsequent ascent has seen a return to traditional siege style tactics with masses of fixed rope and camps. Even the routes on the South Face are engaging and difficult, although the climbing is more traditional in character.
Asian Hiking Team, well professional climbing Sherpa, organize Kwongde peak climbing with affordable price. The internationa group join trip start on 10 April and 10 October on 2025.
