Expedition in Nepal >> Shishapangma Expedition

Shishapangma is consicered one of the easy 8012 meter peaks with high rate of success for climbing in Nepal. Shishapangma in Tibet would be a good choice for climbing. Normally three camps will set up in the approach of the mountain above the advance base camp. We arrange both the logistic support to ABC and fully guided climbing on Shishapangma.

Climbing Shishapangma is a great opportunity to escape the crowds of the busier mountains like Mt. Everest and Cho Oyu while challenging one's self on an 8000m peak. This is a beautiful climb that sees only a fraction of the traffic of Cho Oyu just to the South-east. It is the only 8000m peak completely within China and towers above the Tibetan plateau. Although Shishapangma lies in a remote area it's within 10 hours by jeep from Kathmandu via the Friendship Bridge, making it one of the most accessible 8000m mountains.

 

Trip Highlight

• It was first climbed by H. Ching and Nine Climbers in 1664.
• There are three distinct climbing routes on the Southwest face with several other logical possibilities on the West Ridge and East face.
• The trek to BC takes about three to five days via the Nyanang Phu Chu valley.
