Shishapangma, standing at an impressive 8,027 meters, is the 14th highest mountain in the world and the only one entirely within China and Tibet. It's often considered a bit of a hidden gem among the 8,000-meter peaks, partly due to its remote location in the Tibetan Himalayas. Unlike some of its more famous brethren, it doesn't have the same level of commercialization, which is a blessing if you’re seeking solitude. The mountain offers a variety of routes, but the most commonly attempted is the North Ridge, starting from the base camp at around 5,000 meters. From there, climbers typically set up three more camps before the summit push.

The climb itself is more straightforward compared to the technical challenges of peaks like K2 or Annapurna, making it a popular choice for those looking to bag their first 8,000-meter summit. However, don’t let the relative simplicity fool you; the altitude and weather conditions can be unforgiving. The mountain has seen its share of mishaps, and the weather can turn quickly, so solid acclimatization and preparation are key. The final push to the summit involves navigating through snowfields and potential cornices, so timing and route-finding are crucial to a successful ascent.

In spring and autumn, the weather is usually more stable, making these the preferred seasons for an attempt. Keep in mind that even though Shishapangma might not require the technical prowess of the more treacherous peaks, the sheer altitude demands respect and careful planning. If you're considering an expedition, you’ll find that there are 19 guides offering climbs up Shishapangma, providing a range of options for those looking to undertake this magnificent journey.

Contratamos el servicio de coche con conductor hasta Bandipur y fue excelente. Coche suv muy comodo para la loca carretera hacia pokhara. El conductor muy prudente cosa que se agradece porque vaya camicaces.

We hired the car service with driver to Bandipur and it was excellent. Very comfortable SUV car for the crazy road to Pokhara. The driver is very cautious, which is appreciated because he is driving.

I had an incredible experience with Asian Trekking Pvt Ltd. Their commitment to safety, knowledgeable guides, and well-organized itineraries made my mountain trek memorable. The company's dedication to responsible tourism and support for local communities truly sets them apart. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a top-notch trekking adventure  🌎

What happened to David Sharpe, you left him to die on the mountain

My first time in Nepal and wanting to do an Everest base camp trek, on a recommendation I went with Asian Trekking, right away Sonjia Sherpa was so responsive and helpful I knew I had made the right choice in companies, she took care of everything and always answered my hundreds of questions, everyone of the staff from the drivers to the city tour guide were amazing, but most importantly our trekking guide and porter were outstanding, I can't even being to describe how good they both were, they took such good care of both of us, we wouldn't have been successful with out them.and to top it off they saved a young porters life with oxygen during our decent,  when that porters company left him alone and sick on a mountain trail, it goes to show you need to pick your companies well and Aisian trekking is one of the best as far as im concerned,I would always trekking with them  when in Nepal.

What about David Sharp?
You guys didn't even prepare the dead mans belonging.
Why are people giving Asian Trekking their money? Have you guys not heard about David Sharp who trusted them?
They did absolutely nothing for the mans family.

Clear, transparent and smooth communication. We had a wonderful family trip with our kids in Nepal!
