Overview

Climb Paldor Peak in Nepal which provides an ideal location for an Alpine style climbing experience. Bill Tilman along with Peter Lloyd, Tenzin Sherpa and Da Namgyal first climbed Paldor in 1949 by the North East Ridge. The peak offers spectacular views all around especially of Shishapangma and Ganesh Himal.

Expeditions and Climbing Peaks

All our expeditions and climbing peaks are supported by satellite phone, two way radio, support oxygen (when required) and comprehensive first aid medical kit. We only use top quality expedition tents.

High Altitude Warning

Safety is a major consideration during all our expeditions however there are dangers involved in climbing 6000m, 7000m and 8000m peaks that cannot be avoided. The extreme altitude, weather, cold and other mountaineering hazards ensure high altitude climbing has unavoidable risks at the best of times, members of our expeditions need to be aware of these dangers and accept that they are an integral part of high altitude mountaineering.
