Rock Climbing Nagarkot Nepal
Day 1 Leave Kathmandu after breakfast around 9 am for Sankhu by bus 16 km, depending on traffic we should arrive there by 11am.
Then we start a 3 hr scenic ride to Nagarkot. We then have a well deserved hearty local dish of your choice for lunch. After lunch you get the chance to explore the local community on you own and meet at the tower for sunset. Then it its a 15 min ride to the rock for a look and off to the home stay for dinner. You will stay in a traditional Gurung house or eco cottage built with local materials and famed for its local dishes and hospitality.
Day 2 Wake up at sunrise for breakfast and meet the crew 8am.
After a briefing and orientation its a 10 min walk to the rock. The rock itself contain a number of grades but is lucky to boast some grade 8 overhangs and many grade 4 5 6 7, so everyone you can find a route to suit their level.Lunch is served at the home stay at about 1pm in the afternoon you might like to do some bouldering or go back to the wall for the rest of the day. Nornally we go cycle in the evening to wind down it up to you. Dinner and home stay.
Day 3 Breakfast after sun rise and its back to the rock to have another go before lunch and a 3 hr ride back to Kathmandu.
Maha Dhunga
The rock was undiscovered until Finale for Nepal and one of their group of famous Italian climbers discovered it quite by accident in April of this year. To their delight we found a jewel which had not been seen before. Maha Dhunga (huge Mega Stone) is 35 meters high and 30 meters long and we have opened 5 routes Grade 4-8. Discovered in April 2011 by Thomas of Finale for Nepal.
