2 x 6000m Expedition – Kiager Ri & Nomads Peak

The story

Two 6000m Summits Above Tso Moriri

This expedition combines two incredible Himalayan summits in one journey: Kiager Ri North Face at 6,100 meters and Nomads Peak at 6,125 meters.

Kiager Ri & Nomads Peak

A two-summit Changthang expedition combining trekking peak movement with semi-technical Himalayan climbing.

Ascent notes

What the climb feels like on the mountain.

01

Located near Tso Moriri Lake in Ladakh's Changthang region, the route is built for climbers looking to complete two 6000m summits with proper acclimatization.

02

Nomads Peak is a non-technical trekking peak with gradual slopes, beautiful scenery, and a straightforward route, making it ideal for a first Himalayan 6000m summit.

03

Kiager Ri North Face adds a semi-technical dimension with glacier travel, snow slopes, and mountaineering equipment such as crampons, ice axe, ropes, and jumars.

04

Together, the two peaks create a balanced expedition that mixes trekking peak confidence with technical progression.

05

From the summits, climbers see Tso Moriri Lake, the Changthang Plateau, Mentok Kangri, the Karakoram Range, the Zanskar Range, and countless Eastern Ladakh peaks.

Double summit difficulty

Why This 2 x 6000m Expedition Works as a Progression

The overall grade is easy to moderate, but the expedition still includes glacier travel, high-altitude movement, technical equipment use, and two summit pushes above 6000 meters.

Field note

The value is in the contrast.

Nomads Peak builds confidence on a non-technical summit, while Kiager Ri North Face introduces semi-technical movement and glacier terrain.

01

Two 6000m Summits

Climbers attempt both Kiager Ri North Face and Nomads Peak in a single acclimatized expedition.

02

Semi-Technical Kiager Ri

Kiager Ri North Face involves glacier travel, snow slopes, and technical equipment use.

03

Non-Technical Nomads Peak

Nomads Peak offers gradual slopes and a straightforward route for first-time 6000m climbers.

04

Acclimatization at Korzok

The itinerary uses Korzok, a 5000m viewpoint hike, and Summit Camp to build altitude progressively.

05

Buffer for Weather

One buffer day supports safe decisions around route conditions and summit opportunities.
