Hello! Morrissey,
This is trek guide/climbing base camp manager Mr. Chheduk man, more than 24 years experience in the mountaineering field, writing you Rock-climbing information from Kathmandu, Nepal. This is as follows:
Rock climbing?
In Kathmnadu?
Yes! Kathmandu offers some really terrific place for people who like crawling up vertical cliffs with help of their fingernails. If you do not have the time to take on some Himalayan peak during this visit, the valley perimeter offers a number of stonewalls guaranteed to keep you on toes. So, instead of hanging around gathering moss, why not try your hand at rock climbing and get a grip on things?
Where and how to get there
Nagarjum(also know as Jamacho) is the forested hill which lies to the northwest of Swayambu stupa. The climbing cliff here is located inside the Royal forest and is suitable for both beginners and regulars. The limestone face is about 10-12 meters high, and there are several piton-equi[ped toutes. To gate, there, take a taxi to Balaju (3 km from downtown Kathamndu) and then walk to the park entrance. From the Gate, follow the dirt road to a point just before the army checks post where you will come across a track leading to the right. Follows this trial through trees ad shrubs for about five minutes, and there’s the cliff.
Another interesting rock wall is situated on the slope of Shivapuri hill to the north of Kathmandu. The Granite faces here lie scattered about, and the big cliff in the center is equipped wit a single route. To get there, go by Taxi or bus Budhnikantha(9km from Downtown), shrine of the sleeping Bisnu, then walk west form the bus stop passing Budhanikantha school on your right. The trial then climbs along the left bank of the Bisnumati stream through terraced fields and enters the Shivepuri watershed and wildlife reserve. The cliffs can be seen from a distance, so you won’t have much difficulty finding the place.
If you need further more information about Climbing, Trekking, Rafting as well as Tibet tour, please do not hesitate to ask with me. I am here to provide you exact information. I can help you during the Nepal visit time.
I am looking forward to hearing form you soon as.
All the best,
Chheduk Man
