Team first planned to climb Lugula from Damodar Kunda lakes in Mustang, then to carry on with the Bhrikuti traverse. Following a ministry of interior decision to add trekking permit cost to mountaineering expeditions in restricted areas, team changed its plans to climb Lugula from Phu side, climbing at first Bhrikuti Shail. Despite bad weather conditions, the team achieved both at separate periods, this through NW Ridge (located in Chinese territory). In addition, several different teams climbed other peaks surrounding.

Team left BC on 11 Oct (members left BC on 6, 9 and 11 Oct).
