The Ramjak Peak Expedition (6,318 M) is a compact yet demanding technical Himalayan expedition located in the rugged Lahaul region of Himachal Pradesh. Though shorter in duration compared to larger 6,500–7,000 meter expeditions, Ramjak should not be underestimated. Its technical glacier terrain, steep summit slopes, and rapid altitude gain require strong acclimatization discipline, efficient movement, and sound decision-making.
Ramjak Peak offers an excellent balance between technical challenge and logistical feasibility. The expedition begins from Manali, moving toward Jispa or Darcha, gateways to the high-altitude valleys of Lahaul. From here, trekkers transition quickly into alpine terrain, reaching Base Camp at 4,550 meters, which immediately places the team into a high-altitude operational environment.
Unlike long approach expeditions, Ramjak demands focused acclimatization, as higher camps are reached relatively quickly. A structured plan of acclimatization days, glacier training, load ferry rotations, and staged camp occupation ensures that trekkers adapt safely before the summit push.
The summit day involves moving over glaciated terrain and snow slopes, requiring careful rope discipline and pacing. Standing on the summit of Ramjak Peak (6,318 M) rewards trekkers with expansive views of the Lahaul ranges, surrounding glaciers, and a deep sense of achievement earned through discipline rather than speed.
With Terranova Expedition, Ramjak is approached with a safety-first mindset, making it an ideal technical progression peak for trekkers preparing for more complex Himalayan objectives.
