Situated south of Na in the
upper Rolwaling, Ramdung, also called Ramdang-Go
on the Schneider map, is one of a cluster or
peaks around the Yalung La (5310m/17421ft), a
pass giving access to the upper Rolwaling from
the south , via the Khare Khola.
This form of mountaineer in the exploration of
unknown peaks, glaciers and valleys, the finding
and crossing of new passes to connect one area
with another, the most fascinating occupation I
know. The variety of experience, the constantly
changing scene, the gradual unfolding of the
geography of the range are deeply satisfying,
for they yield a very real understanding, almost
a sense of personal possession, of the country
explored.’
Although the mountain by its normal route of
ascent, the glaciers of the North-East Flank, is
straightforward, its virtues lie in its
magnificent position and splendid summit
panorama that ranges from Langtang to Everest
and provides a splendid view of Gauri Shankar
