Shishapangma Expedition

 Shishapangma Expedition in Nepal

The Shishapangma Expedition, through which you summit 8027 m from the Tibet side, has a straightforward climbing route compared to the six courses with steep snow and rock bands on the Nepal side. Three camps are set up to ascend the summit of Shishapangma successfully at the altitudes of

    ★ Camp I (6400 m)

    ★ Camp II (7000 m)

    ★ Camp III (7400 m)

Before you climb Shishapangma, you will see the spectacular view of the mountain and its ridges from the base camp. Since the Shishapangma Expedition is an expedition over 8000 m, there are pinnacles, headwall, rock-crowned flat buttress, snow slopes, and rock ridge on its climbing route. In addition, there are 35 degrees of the snow slope, crevasses, and steep sections. Our climbing guides will place a fixed rope and ladders on these crevasses. Of all 8000 m peaks, Shishapangma is the youngest one on the list of adventurous climbers. The features of the Shishapangma Expedition in Nepal are:

 ★ 8000 m plus peak
