About Trip:
Old Mountain cultures, Buddhist religion and in the close backdrop of this trek combines several highlights in one thrilling tour: remote trails, a scared lake, traditional villages and an ascent of a Himalayan Peak! The scenic journey is located between the two popular areas of Langtang and Manaslu and hasa great diversity of plants and wildlife and wildlife in a relatively untouched landscape. Our route is graced by one of the most beautiful family of peaks in the Himalaya, the Ganesh Himal Range. If you would like to experience a real challenge along with your Himalayan adventures, then join us for this excursion to climb Paldor Peak, the best option for getting naturally high and achieving your dreams in the Himalaya.
We begin right here at the edge of Kathmandu Valley on an acclimatization route that passes many highlights along the way.The trail climbs up through the lush Shivapuri National Park, and through picturesque landscape and villages to cross the Laurebina La high pass (4609 m/15,111 ft). We reach Gosainkunda, a holy pilgrimage lake believed to have been created by Shiva himself to cool his throat after drinking a poison that was endangering the world! The route then passes through areas settled mainly by Tamang and people with origins in Tibet. We climb into remote valleys with uninhabited forests and make our way to Paldor Peak. Paldor Peak is 5928 m/19,449 ft and presents a challenging climb. Although this peak requires no previous experience in mountaineering, it will be physically demanding and is suitable for people feeling acclimatized and fit.
Standing upon the summit we enjoy our great accomplishment. The triumph is rewarded with unimaginable views of the Ganesh and Langtang peaks and much more including a view into Tibet! We then return using an alternate exit through more remote land with scenic villages and landscape. We arrive at the bustling bazaar town of Trishuli for a picturesque drive back to Kathmandu Valley.
Highlights of the journey beyond the achievement of climbing a Himalayan peak are the dramatic, unimaginable viewpoints and charming cultural interaction!
The climbing itinerary is designed with careful attention by our professional climbers to safeguard a gradual rate of ascent with proper acclimatization.
The best seasons to climb Paldor Peak are March to May and September to early December. We have no fixed departure dates, just let us know your preferred schedule and we can accommodate accordingly.
We look forward leading you to the thrill of a lifetime standing atop a Himalayan peak!
Note: After exploring the Ganesh Himal and Paldor Peak there is much more to do in Nepal. If you are interested in other activities such as tours of Pokhara and Lumbini, paragliding, rafting, canyoing, jungle safaris and more then we will be happy to arrange it all for you as a follow-on to this trek.

Trip Note
The above itinerary should be taken only as a guide line; since we will be trekking on some of the most remote terrain on earth, it could change due to weather, availability of clean water and campsite, trail or any other unforeseen conditions. In the event of this happening, your senior guide will make the final decision after consulting with the group.
Your Sherpa Crew
At Himalaya Hikes, our Sherpa crews are critical to the success of your treks & climbs that you do with us. We us professionally trained Sherpa guides & sirdars who are just not hikers & climbers on the mountains but have been trained to perform this task with a lot of common sense & guile. We ensure that they are confident & experienced in leading ventures into some of the most isolated parts of Nepal. Most of our guides were born in these parts & have relatives living on other parts of the regions where they were born in.
We know that locally born staffs are a vital cog in that wheel of sometimes dangerous adventure where anything can happen.
Trekkers benefit a lot from local guides who have the local knowledge that can give you deep insights into the local culture where you understand the lifestyles of communities of the areas you hike through. Your travel is also directly supporting local communities, creating employment & giving back to the local folks as you travel through their districts & regions.
All of our local crew, guides, sirdars & porters all have critical first aid training & even possess the abilities to save your life in the most serious of conditions. At Himalaya Hikes, we always make sure that our mountain crews are highly motivated & never compromise on the facilities they deserve.
