Dorje Lakpa is located at the solid mass of Jugal Himal (Nepal), east of the Langtang Valley and south of Shishapangma (Tibet). The normal route for the peak is described below. A good technique in ice is essential and we envisage placing fix ropes in the favorable places, which will help us to achieve our goal. Camp I will be at an altitude 5400m and is well sheltered. Camp II will be at an altitude 6100m, which does not exceed 40' and is visible from the Base Camp. As per the condition of the climate during climbing, we may place a safety camp between summit and camp II. After the summit, we will disassemble the high camps and return by the same route.
