Shishapangma - Ideal first 8000m peak

  • Excellent first 8000m peak
  • One of the easier 8000m peaks
  • Short approach to Base Camp

Of the world’s fourteen 8,000 metre peaks, Shishapangma is the lowest at 8013m. The beauty of this climb is the short approach to Base Camp and gentle nature of the ascent; making for one of the most satisfying climbs within a reasonable timeframe. We operate this expedition in the spring season as it is the safest 8,000m peak to climb in this season as many of the Nepal peaks are beset by heavy snowfalls at this time. We will attempt the normal route (which is not a technically difficult climb) and access to the Base Camp is made by a relatively short trek from the road end at 5000m. It is important to recognise that Shishapangma is still one of the highest peaks on the planet, and as such is a demanding undertaking in even the most ideal conditions.
