Jugal-5, a peak in the Jugal mountain range located at the head of Jugal rural municipality, about 140 kilometers from Kathmandu, has been successfully climbed.
According to Mahendra Singh Thapa, president of the Sindh Sukute Tourism Entrepreneurs Association, a five-member team including James Peter Williams Perrier from the UK successfully climbed the 5,922-meter-high Jugal-5 mountain on Sunday morning. 'They informed us through satellite that they had reached the peak at 7:30 this morning,' said President Thapa. Seven international climbers are currently in the area with the goal of climbing two of the 11 peaks of the Jugal mountain range.
Meanwhile, a team led by world-renowned mountaineer and author Leo Houlding from Scotland and Henrik Bergsen from Norway are currently preparing to climb Jugal-4. 'They are currently at the high camp and are scheduled to climb within two days,' said Thapa.
According to Thapa, this expedition will provide an opportunity to introduce Sindhupalchowk's tourism to the international level.
The team that came on his initiative has made a program to climb Jugal-4 at 5,936 meters and Jugal-5 at 5,922 meters respectively. According to Milan Tamang, chairman of the Jugal Rural Municipality Tourism Committee, the rural municipality is providing all necessary support to the mountaineering team.
Thapa has been active in promoting the Panchpokhari and Jugal areas as international tourist destinations in recent years. Earlier, the 6,151-meter high Glazen Peak (Phurpa Jyo Jyo Peak) of the Jugal mountain range has been climbed twice. On April 23, 2081, a Nepal-Korea joint team successfully climbed Jugal-1.
