The Parchamo (also Pharchamo or Parchemuche ) is a trekking peak in the Himalayas in the Rolwaling Himal mountain range .

The Parchamo lies on the border of the Nepalese administrative zones Janakpur and Sagarmatha . When the visibility is good, the summit offers a view of Mount Everest , Cho Oyu and Gyachung Kang . The 5755  m high Tashi Lapcha mountain pass runs along the northern flank of the 6,273  m high Parchamo and leads east from the Drolambao glacier to the mountain village of Namche Bazar . The 6943  m high Tengi Ragi Tau rises north of the mountain pass . To the south a mountain ridge leads from Parchamo to 6718  m Likhu Chuli ( Pig Pherago Shar ).

The two Britons Phil Boultbee and Dennis Davis managed the first ascent of Parchamo on April 18, 1955.
