Comprehensive Trek Guide

multi line

Rock climbing is an activity in which participants climb up, down or across natural rock formations. The rough land structure of Kathmandu (KTM) makes it one of the best places for rock climbing in Nepal. With its wonderful natural rock face structure, rock climbing in Kathmandu is becoming quite a popular adventure sport for visitors.

The natural and majestic climbing sites available in Kathmandu are suitable for all climbers, whether beginners or experts. Kathmandu offers the best rock climbing places: Nagarjun forest, Shivapuri National Park, and Hattiban site.

Climbing is a challenging and dangerous sport that tests climbers' strength, endurance, agility, balance, and mental control. So, climbers should be sufficiently prepared before undertaking any rock climbing tours.

 

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!



Note:

  • Your insurance should cover medical and helicopter emergency rescue, and it should be shown to the operator before the trip departs. The insurance should cover altitudes up to 2000m.

  • Some of the sights/itineraries may change due to season, weather, national holidays, and special events. We maintain the right to alter the itinerary since tours are made in advance, and unforeseen circumstances may arise that mandate change. Itinerary changes are made to improve your overall travel experience.

  • The driving times mentioned are approximate and do not include breaks for sightseeing, photo/tea/meal/rest stops. There may be delays in transfer time due to road conditions, road repair/widening works, inclement weather, and other unforeseen circumstances.
