Arakam Tse is a mountain in Nepal.
Description Arakam Tse is a summit in the Khumbu region of the Nepalese Himalaya. It is situated west of Mount Everest and north of Cholatse. Topographic relief is significant as the east slope rises 1,100 metres (3,609 ft) in . Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of the Dudh Koshi. Trekkers pass by this peak en route to Everest Base Camp. The first ascent of the summit was made on October 26, 2013, by Josep Maria Esquirol, Silvestre Barrientos, Alfonso Gaston, and Ferran Rodríguez.Arakam Tse (5,904m), northeast face, Tatopani, Josep Maria Esquirol, 2014, publications.americanalpineclub.org, Retrieved April 7, 2025. This team of Spaniards climbed the northeast face via a route they named Tatopani, (1,000m, M5+).
Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, Arakam Tse 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, and October offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing this peak.Everest Treks : A Month By Month Review of the Best Seasons, Brinley Clark, Himalayanwonders.com, Retrieved April 7, 2025.
