Comprehensive Trek Guide

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, has a geographical structure suitable for sporty activities like rock climbing. This sport is a must for people who crave adventure and want to get that adrenaline kick. Depending on your wishes and previous experience, you can choose your rock climbing destination (even beginners have tons of options to choose from).

 

Kathmandu is surrounded by natural rock formations that provide perfect climbing opportunities. The city's proximity to stunning climbing sites makes it a haven for adventure enthusiasts. On this trip, you'll have the chance to explore some of the most popular rock climbing spots, including:

 

  • Shivapuri National Park: Nestled amidst lush greenery, this park offers a serene environment with rock walls of varying difficulty levels. It's perfect for those who want to combine climbing with a peaceful, natural retreat.
  • Nagarjun Forest: Known for its rugged terrain and breathtaking views, this forest provides challenging climbing routes that test your skills while immersing you in nature's beauty.
  • Hattiban: Located just a short drive from the city, Hattiban is a favourite among climbers for its diverse routes and panoramic vistas of the surrounding hills and valleys.



As fun as rock climbing is, it is also dangerous and equally difficult, so know your body's endurance, condition, and stamina before actually attempting it. If you are a beginner, make sure you have all the necessary supplies, training from authorized personnel, equipment, and a guide with you. 

 

What to Expect on Your Rock Climbing Adventure?

The adventure begins with a convenient pick-up and a detailed briefing from experienced guides who prioritize safety and proper technique. After a scenic drive to the climbing site, participants are equipped with top-quality gear and provided with training to build confidence, especially for beginners. Once ready, the real thrill begins as climbers take on routes suited to their skill and stamina. The sense of achievement upon reaching the summit is unmatched, complemented by stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. Following the climb, there’s time to relax, refresh, and reflect on the day’s accomplishments before returning to Kathmandu.

 

Rock climbing requires preparation and awareness, and it’s crucial to know your body’s endurance and condition before attempting this physically demanding activity. Proper gear, professional guidance, and staying hydrated are key to a safe and enjoyable experience.

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.

Your generosity makes a lasting impact—thank you!
