Tengi Ragi Tau
Tengi Ragi Tau, also known as Agole, is a mountain in Nepal. Description Tengi Ragi Tau is a summit on the western boundary of Sagarmatha National Park in the Nepalese Himalayas. It is set on the border shared by the Dolakha District and the Solukhumbu District. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's east slope drains to the Bhotekoshi River, whereas the west slope drains to the Tamakoshi River via Rolwāliṅ Khola. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,400 metres (4,593 ft) above the Drolambao Glacier in , and 2,560 metres (8,400 ft) above Dig Tsho Lake in . The first ascent of the summit was achieved on December 4, 2002, by Koichi Ezaki, Ruchia Takahashi, Pasang Tamang, and Tul Bahadur Tamang via the southeast face. The second ascent, first via the west face, was made on October 16, 2019, by Tino Villanueva and Alan Rousseau via a route they named ''Release the Kraken''.

Numbur
Numbur is a glaciated mountain located in the Rolwaling Himal mountain range of Nepal. The high Numbur is located at 43 km southwest of Mount Everest, on the border of the Janakpur and Sagarmatha zone Sagarmāthā Zone (, ''"Sagarmāthā Anchal"'') was one of the fourteen zones of Nepal until the restructuring of zones into provinces. The headquarters of Sagarmatha is Rajbiraj. ''Sagarmāthā'' is a Nepali word which as per some sources, is ...s. One of its eastern neighbours is mount Karyolung. Climbing history The Numbur was first climbed on May 29, 1963, by Hiroshi Matsuo and Mingma Tserin, participants of a Japanese expedition, from the south face. In October 1981 a French expedition succeeded in the alleged first ascent of Numbur from the southwest ridge. Jean-Pierre Henry, Christian Rathat and Mingma Sherpa reached the summit on October 14, Eric Laroche, Jean-François Le Quang and Philippe Veyrac followed on October 17.

Köppen Climate Classification
The Köppen climate classification divides Earth climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature. The five main groups are ''A'' (tropical), ''B'' (arid), ''C'' (temperate), ''D'' (continental), and ''E'' (polar). Each group and subgroup is represented by a letter. All climates are assigned a main group (the first letter). All climates except for those in the ''E'' group are assigned a seasonal precipitation subgroup (the second letter). For example, ''Af'' indicates a tropical rainforest climate. The system assigns a temperature subgroup for all groups other than those in the ''A'' group, indicated by the third letter for climates in ''B'', ''C'', ''D'', and the second letter for climates in ''E''. Other examples include: ''Cfb'' indicating an oceanic climate with warm summers as indicated by the ending ''b.'', while ''Dwb'' indicates a semi-Monsoon continental climate, monsoonal continental climate ...

Mountains Of Koshi Province
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains te ...

Parchamo
Parchamo (also Pharchamo, Parchemuche, Parchoma, Pachermo Peak or Pachhermo Peak) is a high trekking peak in the Rolwaling Himal mountain range of the Himalayas. It is located on the boundary between the Dolakha District and the Solukhumbu District of Nepal. The summit offers a view of Mount Everest, Cho Oyu and Gyachung Kang with good visibility. On the north flank of Parchamo is the high Tashi Lapcha (Tesi Lapcha) pass, which leads from the Drolambao glacier in the west to the mountain village of Namche Bazaar in the east. North of the Tashi Lapcha pass rises the high Tengi Ragi Tau. To the south, a ridge leads from Parchamo to the Likhu Chuli. The first ascent of Parchamo was made by a UK expedition led by Alfred Gregory Alfred Gregory FBIPP, FRPS (Hon) (12 February 1913 – 9 February 2010) was a British mountaineer, explorer and professional photographer.

Geology Of The Himalayas
The geology of the Himalayas is a record of the most dramatic and visible creations of the immense mountain range formed by plate tectonic forces and sculpted by weathering and erosion. The Himalayas, which stretch over 2400 km between the Namcha Barwa syntaxis at the eastern end of the mountain range and the Nanga Parbat syntaxis at the western end, are the result of an ongoing orogeny — the collision of the continental crust of two tectonic plates, namely, the Indian Plate thrusting into the Eurasian Plate. The Himalaya-Tibet region supplies fresh water for more than one-fifth of the world population, and accounts for a quarter of the global sedimentary budget. Topographically, the belt has many superlatives: the highest rate of uplift (nearly 10 mm/year at Nanga Parbat), the highest relief (8848 m at Mt. Everest Chomolangma), among the highest erosion rates at 2–12 mm/yr, the source of some of the greatest rivers and the highest concentratio ...

Takargo (Nepal)
Takargo, also known as Thakar Go or Dragker Go, is a mountain in Nepal. Description Takargo is a summit in the Nepalese Himalayas. It is set in the Dolakha District of Bagmati Province. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains to the Tamakoshi River via Rolwāliṅ Khola. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2,200 metres (7,218 ft) above Tsho Rolpa in . The first ascent of the summit was achieved on March 12, 2010, by David Gottlieb and Joe Puryear via the east face. Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, Takargo is located in a tundra climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers. Weather systems coming off the Bay of Bengal are forced upwards by the Himalaya mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Mid-June through early-August is the monsoon season. The months of April, May, September, October, and November offer the most favorable weather for viewing o ...

Orographic Lift
Orographic lift occurs when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain. As the air mass gains altitude it quickly cools down adiabatically, which can raise the relative humidity to 100% and create clouds and, under the right conditions, precipitation. Orographic lifting can have a number of effects, including precipitation, rain shadowing, leeward winds, and associated clouds. Precipitation Precipitation induced by orographic lift occurs in many places throughout the world. Examples include: * The Mogollon Rim in central Arizona * The western slope of the Sierra Nevada range in California. * The western slope of the Wasatch Range in Utah. Specifically the Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons. * The mountains near Baja California North – specifically La Bocana to Laguna Hanson. * The windward slopes of Khasi and Jayantia Hills (see Mawsynram) in the state of Meghalaya in India. * The Western Highlands of Yemen, which rece ...
