Description

Gurja Himal (7,193 m) is a non-volcanic peak in Nepal’s Dhaulagiri group above the Gurja Khani area. The American Alpine Journal records the 1969 first ascent and six subsequent successes via northern approaches; the southern approach through Gurja Khani relates to the south-face attempt. Nine people died at the southern base camp in October 2018. The AAJ proposes an air blast from a serac avalanche funneled through narrow gullies; this remains a hypothesis rather than proof of a storm-triggered avalanche. Village trekking to Gurja Khani is a separate activity from a technical summit expedition.

Routes

Dharapani — Lulang — Gurja Pass — Gurja Khani (trek desa)

Trek terpencil; bukan jalur puncak Gurja Himal

12 hari paket; Lulang–Gurja Khani sekitar 7–8 jam menurut rincian operator

Himalayan Wander Walkers walks from Dharapani to Lulang, crosses Gurja Pass (3,250 m), then descends to Gurja Khani (2,650 m). The following day allows village exploration or a side walk toward the mountain’s foot; the return recrosses the pass. Timings describe an operator itinerary, not a summit expedition.

Kaphe-Kola — sisi barat laut dan punggungan barat (historis)

Ekspedisi teknis; catatan historis, bukan kondisi jalur terkini

The 1997 AAJ account follows Kaphe-Kola Glacier, a rock buttress, snow plateau and northwest side to the west ridge. Its final camp was at 6,100 m. This historical record does not establish present rope or camp availability.

Climbing Experiences

Pedro Nicolás’s ascent account and Man Bahadur Khatri’s exploration describe two sides of Gurja: a technical summit expedition and travel through remote villages. A homestay itinerary adds a Gurja Khani trekking option, alongside short videos of Gurja and Myagdi.
