Difficulty Of Paldor Peak Climbing

It might seem that this mountain is easy to climb since it is at a height of fewer than 6000m but not. However, this is not the case with Paldor Peak Climbing. The climb requires excellent physical and mental strength. Experienced climbers will have an edge over beginners, although novice climbers can also join the trek after sufficient training.

Although you have experience of climbing, you must have physical endurance. Each day, you must walk for approximately 6-7 hours through rough terrain. Additionally, if you haven’t trained enough, the steep ups and downs can cause fatigue to your muscles. The final 45-degree angle steep climb through icy surfaces to the peak is very challenging, and you need enough adrenaline in order to succeed!

Mountaineering equipment knowledge such as ice axes, crampons, carabiners, and ropes, is a plus, although the guides will provide necessary training. There are very few tourists along the way to Paldor Peak because it is not mainstream. As a result, navigating can be difficult if you’re traveling alone. For this reason, it is always advisable to travel this route with a guide or a porter.

Our itinerary has been designed so that you can acclimatize to the climate before hiking at higher elevations. However, sometimes you can experience altitude sickness.
