1
Into the Forest
We pick you up in Thamel, and drive towards the quiet of Nagarjun forest. A short hike brings you to the base, where we gear up for the rock.
2
On the Rock
Start with top-rope climbs, learn movement, balance, and technique. Then push further with lead climbing, longer routes and more exposure.
3
Lunch Break
Packed lunch in the forest. No rush. Let your arms recover.
4
Level Up
After a well-deserved lunch, we climb higher, with multiple routes, and different styles. Max out on your climb, until there is nothing left in the tank.
5
Sunset
As a well-deserved treat, watch the sun set over Langtang, Annapurna, Ganesh Himal, and the entire Kathmandu Valley below.
