3 min readUpdated 23 Oct 2026By the Base Camp Hikes trek team

From the Kalinchowk temple ridge you can look across to the Gaurishankar range, the Jugal Himal, Ganesh Himal and the Langtang range on a clear day. Early morning is best, before cloud builds in the valleys.

Gaurishankar and Rolwaling

The Gaurishankar range, listed as Sumeru Parbat in one source, is the main view to the east. See the Gaurishankar sacred twin peaks guide and the Rolwaling guides.

Jugal Himal

The Jugal Himal includes Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m). See the Dorje Lakpa guides.

Langtang and Ganesh Himal

Sources also list the Langtang range and Ganesh Himal among the views. See the Langtang guides and the Ganesh Himal guides.

Best time of day

Be at the viewpoint at sunrise. Cloud often fills the valleys by mid-morning.
