Paldor Peak 5896m
Tour Details
When the weather is clear, the Ganesh Himal range can be seen an delightful backdrop to the northwest of Kathmandu, with the icy peaks of Ganesh I (7 406 m), Ganesh V (6 950 m), Pabil (7101 m) and Logsang Karpo (7 150 m) peering above the forested valley rim.
Paldor lies at the south-east end of this range at the junction of the Tiru and Karpu Dandas (ridges). While it is under 6000m, it provides a satisfying and non-to-difficult climb. The main route across the glacier is crevasses and takes some finding. On reaching the col there are two options. Either climb the straightforward ridge using ropes, or continue around to the crevasses back for a simpler, 45 degree, ridge. In good conditions making a traverse of the mountain is possible.
From the summit there are excellent views of the Ganesh Himal peaks, Langtang Lirung (7 227 m) and Manaslu (8 156 m) as well as the mountains of Tibet including Shishapangma (8 013 m).
The peak was first climbed by Bill Tilman, Peter Lloyed, Tenzing Sherpa and Da Namgyal during the monsoon of 1949 via the North-East Ridge.
The trek in to base camp is along the popular Tamang Heritage Trail.
