Set off on a unique ice climbing journey in the breathtaking Annapurna region, where the villages of Manang, Humde, and Pisang are filled with an abundance of frozen waterfalls. Tailored for climbers of every ability, this expedition offers the opportunity to tackle both well-known and unexplored ice routes, with altitudes varying from 3,000m to 5,000m. Whether you are a seasoned climber aiming for difficult WI4-WI5 pitches or a novice eager for guidance, this adventure is open to everyone.
The Peak 15 Adventure’s experienced team with an Ifmga certified guide Tendi sherpa kicks off in Kathmandu, followed by a drive to Besishar and an off-road travel into the elevated terrains of Manang. Over the course of multiple climbing days, participants can either venture out on their own or scale the ice with seasoned guides in the Pisang Valley, Julu, and along the Nar Phu borders. The journey wraps up with a return to Kathmandu, providing climbers with lasting memories from their high-altitude ice climbing adventure.
