Rock climbing in Nepal offers an exciting adventure beyond trekking and mountaineering. With natural rock faces located close to Kathmandu, Nepal has become an emerging destination for climbers seeking technical challenges, skill development, and outdoor adventure in a safe and scenic environment. Suitable for beginners and experienced climbers alike, rock climbing provides a unique way to explore Nepal’s rugged terrain.
Rock climbing activities in Nepal are primarily centered around the Kathmandu Valley, with most climbing sites located within 30 to 60 minutes’ drive from the city. These natural cliffs feature limestone, granite, and conglomerate rock formations, offering a wide range of routes from easy introductory climbs to demanding vertical and overhanging routes.
All climbing programs are conducted with certified instructors and include professional safety equipment such as ropes, harnesses, helmets, and climbing shoes. Whether you are trying rock climbing for the first time or looking to improve your technique, our guided sessions ensure a safe, educational, and enjoyable experience.
Located about 7 km from Kathmandu, Nagarjun is the most popular sport climbing destination in Nepal. The limestone cliffs offer more than 50 bolted routes ranging from beginner to advanced grades. Surrounded by forest and overlooking the Kathmandu Valley, it is ideal for climbers of all levels.
Hattiban lies approximately 12 km from Kathmandu and features conglomerate rock formations. With routes suitable for beginners and intermediate climbers, this area is well known for its scenic views and convenient access, making it a popular choice for groups and family outings.
Situated just 5 km from the city center, Balaju offers limestone climbing with taller and more technical routes. The cliff faces are ideal for intermediate to advanced climbers looking to challenge their skills close to Kathmandu.
Astrek is located in the Shivapuri conservation area and provides a quieter, less crowded climbing environment. The granite rock here offers excellent friction climbing and is well suited for climbers seeking a more peaceful and natural setting.
The best time for rock climbing in Nepal is during the autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) seasons. During these months, the weather is stable, temperatures are comfortable, and the rock faces are dry, providing optimal climbing conditions. Monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rainfall, making climbs slippery and unsafe, while winter (December to February) can be cold, especially at higher elevations, though lower altitude climbing near Kathmandu remains possible.
In addition to sport climbing, we also organize bouldering sessions at locations such as Godavari and Chobar. Bouldering allows climbers to practice movement, balance, and strength on natural rock formations without the use of ropes, making it a fun and effective way to develop climbing skills.
