This peak can be attempted from different ways via southwestern ridge, southeastern ridge, and north but we will be heading from easiest and mostly adapted route - southwest ridge. Summiting to this recently opened peak Kyajo Ri is the combination of ascending rocky terrains and climbing through alpine snow steps.

First, we will be acclimatizing by a small trekking to Phakding and the next day following the trial of Dudh Koshi River, we head to NamcheBazar where mostly Sherpa communities reside.
Next day to acclimate the altitude - we visit the Sherpa village and make our way to the hotel - Everest top view from where we get the spectacular view of Mount Everest. Continuing trekking the next day and crossing few of Sherpa villages, we head to Kyajo Ri Base Camp which almost takes a day. The following day we will again be acclimatizing the altitude. Again trekking through the rocky terrains we head to Camp I and take plenty of rest for acclimatization for a day or couple. Slowly we are headed trekking to Camp II.
