Situated south of Na in the upper
Rolwaling, Ramdung, also called Ramdang-Go on the
Schneider map, is one of a cluster or peaks around the
Yalung La (5310m/17421ft), a pass giving access to the
upper Rolwaling from the south , via the Khare Khola.
This form of mountaineer in the exploration of unknown
peaks, glaciers and valleys, the finding and crossing of
new passes to connect one area with another, the most
fascinating occupation I know. The variety of
experience, the constantly changing scene, the gradual
unfolding of the geography of the range are deeply
satisfying, for they yield a very real understanding,
almost a sense of personal possession, of the country
explored.’
Although the mountain by its normal route of ascent, the
glaciers of the North-East Flank, is straightforward,
its virtues lie in its magnificent position and splendid
summit panorama that ranges from Langtang to Everest and
provides a splendid view of Gauri Shankar and Menlungtse |
