Nepal offers you a cliff hanger
experience. Around Nepal there are several places where
you can experience the spine-tingling sport of rock
climbing. Nepal is full of wonderful, dizzying places
and if you want to crawl on a vertical cliff then why
not does it in Nepal. Now rock climbing has found
increasing popularity among the tourists coming into
Nepal as well as for the local aficionados. ATC offers
you the opportunity to fulfill your rock climbing
experience.
Rock climbing spots are situated to the north and
northwest of the valley. Kathmandu has a roster of stone
walls which creates a chance for you to practice and
hone your skills before taking on the real thing.
Nagarjun, Balaju, Shivapuri and Budhanilakantha are the
best places around Kathmandu where you can climb the
rock faces. Climbing trips can be incorporated with bird
watching, game watching and experiencing some of the
last of the valley’s wild places. Nagarjun and Shivapuri
hills have some excellent cliffs for you to climb. Both
places are just a stones throw away form the city.
Rock Climbing is a recent addition to Nepal’s adventure
activity list, which has put us on the world rock
climbing list of places to visit. Though it’s a new
development in the tourist industry, actually it is not
new to Nepal; the sport has been has been around since
the time of the first mountaineers’ way back in the
early 1950s. NMA Secretary, MR. Ang Karma Sherpa explain
that “Rock Climbing in Nepal is not new, but what is new
in our context is evolution as a separate sport.” Being
the latest adventure, for the promotion of rock climbing
the NMA has worked out a long term plan for it. The aim
of NMA is to popularize the spot among Nepalese youth
and prepare a crew of international standard to take
part in Olympiad and other international events to
promote Nepal as a rock climber’s destination.
Rock climbing is a great and fun way to spend a day or
two in Kathmandu,
