Shishapangma Trek Overview

Shishapangma trek in Tibet is an amazing adventure trekking trip that can be started from Kathmandu or Lhasa. This trek does not require any trekking experience; anyone with good physical fitness would be able to do this trek. Mount Shisha Pangma is known in Tibet as the god of the grasslands and is the lowest of the world’s fourteen 8000-meter peaks. It is also the only 8000-meter peak located wholly in Tibet. After an early attempt, it was first climbed in 1964 by a Tibetan-Chinese expedition and was opened to foreign climbers in 1978.

The peak originally carried a Hindustani name: Gosainthan. Our trek to the base of the world’s fourteenth highest mountain allows you to enjoy the stunning beauty of the Tibetan Plateau, and walk to a very high altitude on good snow-free trails providing breathtaking views of the surrounding high peaks of the Himalayas.

Throughout your time in Tibet, you will be accompanied by an experienced English-speaking Tibetan guide who will not only act as an interpreter but will also provide valuable insights into the Tibetan way of life. All our Tibet trips are run in cooperation with our Tibetan counterparts, so you can be assured that authentic local touch.
