Shishapangma happens to be the only peak lying entirely in Tibet and is regarded to be one of the easier 8000 m peaks along with Cho-Oyu, though it is most straightforward 8000 m climb that the summit is frequently achieved. The approach is same as for Cho-Oyu. Among the 14 peaks over 8000 meters in the world, Shishapangma ranks the last. The climate of Shishapangma is quite close to that of Everest. The best timing for mountaineering activities comes each year in April-May and September-October. Our Shishapangma Climb expedition entry and exit is via Zhangmu from Kathmandu, but on clients' request / requirement we can also organize the expedition based on entry Lhasa or Mainland China on some exceptional cases but extra supplement will apply.
