Paldor Peak (5,896 m) lies in a remote area of the Langtang region at the southeast end of the Ganesh Himal. This area offers excellent walking trails for climbers and trekkers alike. The trails join Tiru and Karpu ridge at the head of the Mailung Khola, a tributary of the Trishuli and Gandaki River. This Paldor Peak can be climbed either via the North East, South East, West, and southwest Ridge. It was first climbed by Bill Tilman, Peter Lloyd, Tenzing Sherpa, and Da Namgyal Sherpa in 1949 through the North-East Ridge.
While trekking, you will catch a glimpse of stunning tranquil lakes, beautiful waterfalls, great Himalayan landscapes, and lush green farming terraces. You also get an insight into the lifestyle and culture of the local indigenous communities.
The quickest way to begin Paldor Peak Climbing is by 7 hours’ drive from Kathmandu to Syabru Besi in the Langtang region. From here we begin the trek crossing the Bhote Kosi River way up to Tangent and Gatlang villages, then head northwards along the ridge before descending into the forest above Mailung.
The moraine-filled valley below Paldor peak is accessed from here. After climbing Paldor peak, we trek downhill to Sybrubensi in 4 or 5 days and take land transport to Kathmandu. High Mountain Himalaya Treks and Expedition Pvt. Ltd has designed Paldor Peak Climbing for 17 days itinerary but it can be customized as per trekkers’ interest and schedule.
