Paldor Peak Climbing-16 days

Trip Introduction

Paldor peak is located at the Ganesh Himal’s southeastern end. Bharange is another name for it. It is located to the northeast of Kathmandu. It is located at the intersection of Tiru and Karpu. It is located at a height of 5,903m/19,367ft. It is the ideal combination of trekking and climbing. It is a well-known peak climbing destination. Climbing isn’t all that difficult. We can see Machhapuchhre, the Annapurna range, Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Shisapangma.

The trek’s main highlight is the summit of Paldor Peak.  The trail travels through Langtang National Park, a breathtaking landscape rich in flora and fauna, as well as yak pasture land. There are many plant and animal species to see, including the Himalayan Thar, Gaur, Musk deer, Monkeys, and others. You’ll walk through forests of Spanish oak, blue pine, and various Rhododendron species. You will also visit several Tamang villages and learn about their culture and way of life.

The 15-day trek begins with a seven- to eight-hour drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. Following that, we’ll travel to the beautiful Tamang village, where we’ll learn about their culture and walk-through dense forest and across a suspension bridge. After arriving in Gatlang, we’ll make our way up to the sacred lake of Parvati Kunda. On our way to Somdang, we’ll pass through a Rhododendron Forest and see zinc, copper, crystal, and ruby mines. We will acclimate to Lari before departing for Paldor Base Camp. We will then hike to High Camp, where we will have pre-climbing training. Continue to the summit of Paldor Peak before descending to Base Camp and then the final descent to Syabrubesi.

Is this trek appropriate for you?

  • This trek includes 11 days of strenuous climbing. You’ll be trekking for a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 10 hours per day, reaching elevations of over 5000 meters at times. We cannot overestimate the importance of being in excellent physical shape and health, which requires training before your trip to ensure that you are properly prepared.
  • This is the trek for you if you have previous rock climbing or wall climbing experience. It is recommended that you have prior experience with high-altitude trekking.
  • The weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, you must plan and prepare accordingly, as well as stay up to date on the weather forecast.
  • The teahouses, or trekking lodges, where we stay on the trek are very basic, with just basic services. Hot water may not be accessible at all times and may be charged extra, as well as access to electrical outlets for charging electronics. Wi-Fi is available in some areas, although the quality of the connection may be poor.
  • The path twists and turns through challenging terrain. At 5,903 meters, you’ll reach the highest peak. Because of the weather, isolation, and high altitude of this walk, it’s critical to take it carefully and stay hydrated.
