During the drive, your guide will brief you about the climbing site, safety measures, and basic techniques for beginners.

You’ll then meet your instructors, who will brief you on some safety concerns.

The instructor will demonstrate essential techniques involved in climbing, rope handling, and some safety protocols.

Easy routes for beginners at the commencement of the climbing session will make anyone build confidence and get comfortable with the rock surface. Those who are experienced can choose routes that are much steeper and technical. Natural rock formations are an exciting challenge, and under the guidance of expert climbers, you will feel safe and motivated throughout the climb.

Advanced Climbing Session: For the more adventurous, there is an advanced climbing session. You’ll be taken on much steeper climbs and on more technical routes under supervision. This is great to test your endurance and for improving climbing techniques.

You’ll then get ready, wrapping up your equipment and beginning the journey back. This drive back allows you to enjoy the scenic valley for one last time and some time for yourself to contemplate the adventure.

You will be dropped off at your hotel in Kathmandu, marking the end of an exhilarating rock climbing experience.
