Paldor Peak

Paldor Peak 5,896m is located in the range of Ganesh Himal central Himalaya of Nepal just northwest of Katmandu. The Paldor is one of the very early climbed Himalayan Peaks in Nepal by Bill Tilman (Pioneer British explorer in the Himalayas) in first time in 1949. To climb the peak there are few routes like North East, South East, West and South West Ridge High camp is set far from the summit. It is still quite a distance to climb from this camp. A summit camp needs to be placed another four hours climb from the high camp. From the summit camp, it is a very long day to climb Paldor and at the top grandeur view awaits you, stretching from Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fish Tail) in the Annapurna range, all the way to the peaks of the Khumbu region along with the Mt. Shisapangma and the brown hills of Tibet. Descent is made on the same route. As the area is relatively near to Katmandu, it is possible to organize an entire climbing expedition within 17 days.
