Nup Tse, a towering peak with an altitude of 7,855 meters (25,800 feet), is situated at a latitude of 27° 58' 01" and a longitude of 86° 53' 22". First conquered on May 16, 1961 by Dennis Davis and Tashi Sherpa, this colossal mountain is known for its protective presence over Mount Everest from Tengboche. Situated just two kilometers west of Mount Everest, it can be found in Nepal's Province 1 within the Mahalangur mountain range. It belongs to the Solukhumbu district and Khumbu Pasang Lhamu municipality.
The base camp is most easily accessed along the caravan route that passes through a nearby police post in Namche – the closest help center, around 30 km away. The closest army post also resides in Namche while healthcare services are available at Pheriche, approximately 10.8 km away. Lobuche, the nearest settlement, is a short distance of 4.2 km away.
Royalty fees for scaling Nup Tse differ based on climbers' nationality and season. Nepalese climbers can expect to pay Rs.2000 in Summer and Winter seasons, Rs.4000 in Autumn, and Rs.8000 during Spring. Foreign climbers will be charged $150.00 for Summer and Winter climbs, $300.00 for Autumn ventures, and $600.00 for Spring ascents.
Traveling to Nup Tse involves flying from Kathmandu to Lukla before embarking on the caravan route which passes through Lukla-Namche-Khumjung-Lobuche. The total distance along the caravan route amounts to about 47.1 km via Pheriche, and climbers can expect another 9.4 km distance up the climbing route itself. The entire expedition typically lasts around 56 days.
It's always wise to double-check and confirm this information from multiple sources if you're considering a climbing expedition, as accuracy can't always be guaranteed.
