Chicago Peak Climbing (6257m)

Chicago Peak was got the authorization for expedition just on 2002. This recently opened mountaineering peak remained unheard to many adventure lovers till it was officially opened by Government of Nepal. Even today, hardly any climbers prefer the peak. The stunning summit is situated in the Gaurishankar peak region in a wild locale of Khumbu Valley, near to Mt. Everest. There are a lot of diverse possible routes to reach at top the peak. And the peak is set in the wilderness of the Rolwaling Valley and combines with going across the Tashi Labsta and bestows an exceptional Himalayan climbing experience. This area is at an easy entrance from Kathmandu which is connected by road.
