Tour itinerary: Kathmandu → Langtang → Kathmandu
Paldor Peak climbing is a popular adventure activity among mountaineers and trekkers who want to feel the rush of ascending a high mountain in Nepal. For those looking for a more solitary and difficult experience, Paldor Peak’s climbing path is an excellent option because it is less crowded than the routes to other well-known summits in Nepal.
Paldor Peak is a very beautiful yet less explored peak tucked between Tiru and Karpu Danda and lines with the Ganesh Himal on its southeastern end. It lies at 5903 m and is a moderately difficult peak to climb. According to the Nepal Mountaineering Association, the Paldor peak is categorized as group “B” peak climbing.
Bill Tillman, along with Peter Lloyd, Tenzing Sherpa, and Da Namgyal, during their course of exploration of Ganesh Himal, found out about Paldor Peak. Also, they did their first climb to this peak. Since then, the Paldor peak has slowly gained popularity. Amazing views of Mt. Pabil, Logsang Karpo, Langtang Lirung, Ganesh I, and Ganesh V from the top of Mt. Paldor are the finest attractions of this trek.
Besides this, the trail also passes through the incredible villages of Gatlang and Tangjet. Here, we can see the unique culture and traditions of the local Tamang and Gurung people. Their amazing hospitality is worth experiencing. The rare flora and fauna of Langtang National Park make this journey more adventurous. Snow leopards, red pandas, peacocks, Rhododendrons, pines, etc., are the inhabitants of the park.
In short, Paldor Peak Climbing provides an incredible peak climbing experience. The route to this peak is unique, untouched, and very natural. What could ever be more heart-warming and blissful than trekking in a peaceful area?
The trek requires a moderate level of physical fitness, as it involves trekking for several hours a day at high altitudes.
