Kyajo Ri - Expedition News - 4th April 2026
Leader: Isu Chandra Rai and Kami Sherpa
18th April 2026 - Success on Lobuche!
Today, Jarrod messaged to say they had successfully summited Lobuche East and were now back down safe. However on the ascent the tracker somehow broke off it's attachment and fell off down the mountain, which is why it stopped transmitting. Well done to all the team on their ascent.
12th April 2026 - A change of plan
Unfortunately, due to challenging conditions, the team were not able to proceed on to Kyajo Ri as planned, but has come up with an alternate plan to summit Lobuche instead.
They have already started making their way there and are moving well.
8th April 2026 - Namche Bazaar
The team has now arrived in a snowy Namche Bazaar after their delayed start, looking forward to the rest of their trip.
6th April 2026 - In Ramechhap
The team left Kathmandu in the early hours of this morning, but unfortunately weather has delayed their flight to Lukla. All being well, they will fly tomorrow morning.
5th April 2026 - Arrival in Kathmandu
The team all arrive in Kathmandu
