Paldor Peak
(Ascent of Paldor Peak & trek to Holy Gosainkunda)
This adventurous trek, grants you with one of the most outstanding journey in the whole Himalayas from the holy pilgrimage to Gosainkunda Lake to the footsteps of the pioneer Bill Tilman, who explored this area in 1949. We begin this wonderful trek from the east of Kathmandu valley at Sundarijal. The path climbs through the farm fields, villages and into the serene forest of oaks, pines and rhododendron. Our trail continues north west, leaving behind the villages and the main trekking trail for the remote area of Paldor at the foot of Ganesh Himal. At the summit, a grandeur view awaits you, stretching from Mt. Machhapuchare (Fish Tail) in the Annappurna range, all the way to the peaks of the Khumbu region along with the Mt. Shisapangma and the brown hills of Tibet.
