Paldor Peak Climbing (5896m/19,343ft)

Paldor Peak (5896m/19,343ft) lies in the Ganesh Himal, northwest of Katmandu. The name Ganesh from the elephant-headed Hindu god of good luck. Paldor Peak lies at the southeast end of Ganesh Himal at the junction of the Tiru and Karpu Dandas at the head of the Mailung Khola, a tributary of the Trisuli River. In 1974 Mr. John Cleare and Ian Howell first climbed Paldor Peak. Paldor Peak has become one of the best and most famous trekking peaks in the Ganesh Himal region. Peak climbed from North East, South East, West, and southwest Ridge.

The caravan route to Paldor peak takes you from Kathmandu to the immediate access of Langtang Khola and onto Sabrubesi. The path then leads to Tangjet, Gatlang, Mailung Khola, and onto the base camp.

Southeast ridge route

This route climbs the long snow and ice arête that goes down to the fang rock peak. From Paldor's East glacier's high camp, the ridge's lowest point reached via steep snow and ice slopes. The bank is also accessible from avalanche-prone couloirs from Paldor's West glacier. The hill continues and is quite steep but without any significant difficulties to the summit.

Northeast ridge route

From base camp, the trail follows the path along a moraine. There is a small lake to the south of the peak named Fang. You will cross a stream flowing from the lake and head toward the East ridge of the Fang. The glacier, at this point, is flat and does not contain many crevasses. From this camp, follow the Paldor's East glacier without testing and head north toward a col on the Northeast Ridge. Cross a bergschrund and climb a lofty snow slant to acquire the col. If this is troublesome, you can climb the col. If this is very difficult, you can ascend the hill to the left, climbing diagonally toward a rocky pinnacle. Once on the ridge, rise over several peaks of loose rock leading to a horizontal snow arête. Follow this to the final 150m headwall. Ascend this on steep snow to the Southeast ridge's junction, which may be corniced; use care here. Continue easily to the summit.

How to book holiday trip in Nepal?

Satori Adventures and Expedition aims at giving proper information to many travelers, trekkers and climbers who have some confusion regarding the booking process of the trip in Nepal.Satori Adventures therefore desires to provide guideline for the first-time visitors or travelers so that they can comfortably start the process to book the selected package legally. Before starting the booking process we always advise our trekkers, travelers and climbers to intelligently check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel in the company’s guidance. We ask them to be acquainted with the company they want book their holiday trip with. Is the company genuine and authorized from Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar, Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Nepal Rastra Bank ‒Central Bank of Nepal (authorized for foreign currency), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the Department of Cottage & Small Industries). Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because there are some companies in Nepal that have been running business without abiding by the rules and regulation of the Government. Some companies were once registered but by now their licenses have already been expired and yet they have providing the services illegally.

On many occasions, Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners’ tour operators, NGOs and INGOs have been involved in directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It has been also found that many individuals, freelance guides and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information. Many of them file complaints to Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action such as the refund of the advanced payment. There is hardly any justice given to the cheated clients. Thus, so as to prevent all these probable problems we request our travelers to check the company before booking any trip to the Himalayas.
