Custom departure – Rock Climbing for Novice to Advanced

Hattiban is a custom trip rock climbing trip that we run upon request because it is above the level of most of our day climbers. This is a great next step for those who take the 4 Day Rock Climbing Clinic and want to test out their skills on something more challenging.

Hattiban, Nepal is a beautiful village about 1 hour outside of Kathmandu.  Along the way you will see beautiful temples, and get a great view of the Kathmandu Valley.  It is about a 20 minute hike through the jungle back to the crag where we climb.  This climb includes 5.9 – 5.12 grade routes, and is best for autumn and spring rock climbing.  In the summer this area is very hot as there is little shade at the rock climbing site.

To request this trip, stop by our office (Naya Bazaar) or email us with a few days advance notice (up to 1 week in the high season).
