Situated at the junction of Tiru and Karpu Danda, Paldor Peak (5903m) is situated in the southeast end of the Ganesh Himal (7422m). Paldor Peak climbing is one of the most famous peak climbing destinations in the Ganesh Himal range. It is one of least climbed mountains so its pristine nature has been maintained and offers sublime experience amid the wilderness of the Himalayas. Taking you through Tamang and Sherpa villages, the Paldor Peak Climbing is an excellent option to explore a less mainstream route.  

Paldor peak climbing is one of the most untouched Himalayan routes in the Ganesh Himal range. We will commence our trek to Paldor Peak with a scenic drive to Sybrubensi from Kathmandu. It is situated in the north-east of Kathmandu and nearly takes six hours to reach. We will encounter many rivers like the Langtang River and Bhotekoshi River leading us to the villages like Gatlang and Tangjet. The trek reaches its climax as we reach the pinnacle of the Paldor Peak (5903m). On reaching the summit we can enjoy the views of majestic mountains like Machhapuchhre (6697m) in the Annapurna range, high peaks of the Khumbu region along with the Shisapangma (8013m) and the brown hills of Tibet region. The climbing journey takes you through the fantasy setting of every travel enthusiast’s dreams. This trek rewards us with the untouched beauty of nature, diverse landscapes, beautiful and tranquil villages, and dense forests. This is one of the most adventurous treks in the Nepal Himalayan region offering us with the life experience.
