Lajo Dada

Located in western-central Nepal, Lajo Dada reaches an elevation of 6,426 meters, offering views across the surrounding Himalayan mountain ranges.

Three Japanese climbers from Tomon Alpine Club achieved the first recorded ascent of Lajo Dada on October 17, 2017, after the peak opened for climbing in 2014.

The mountain lies near the Tsum Valley, where local Nepalese communities maintain traditional practices while supporting mountaineering expeditions through guide services.

Climbers planning to ascend Lajo Dada require permits from Nepalese authorities and typically establish a base camp at 4,650 meters near Mu Gompa.

The expedition team navigated the challenging Waseda Glacier and completed their summit push during a demanding 26-hour journey through technical ice sections.
