Dzo Jongo Peak Climbing is situated above 6000 meters in a remote and secluded area and is considered difficult to climb as it has to stay sleep 2/3 night at an altitude of 5000 meters. That’s why climbers need excellent physical condition. On the day of the summit, you will leave the base camp at 2 am and return to the base camp only in the afternoon. This grade includes the use of climbing equipment (harness, ice axe, crampons, mountaineering boots, climber). Previous experience is required and we also offer a climbing course at base camp before the actual climb where your climbing guide will teach you the proper way to use the equipment.
