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 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, 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 or climbing this peak.
