Dorje Lhakpa is a mountain in the Jugal Himal, southeast of Langtang valley in Nepal.

[1] Visible also from Kathmandu valley it has an elegant pyramid-shaped figure and is an ideal target for photographers and mountaineers.

Considered by many of intermediate difficulty with easiest route from the west ridge.

In 1986, a German–Nepalese expedition reached the mountain from the southern Balephi Khola and attempt to climb it over the west ridge.

The climb became a solo of the West Ridge after Carlos' partner, Jon Aylward, became ill at base camp.
