Paldor lies in the range of Ganesh Himal of central
Nepal. The Name Ganesh is taken from the best worshiped
Hindu god Ganesh who has Elephant headed body. Including
Paldor there are few other peaks opened for climbing.
Paldor is one of the very early climbed Himalayan Peaks
in Nepal. The first team to scale this mountain includes
Bill Tilman (pioneer British explorer in the Himalayas),
Peter Lioyd, Tenjing Sherpa and Da Namgyal who had received
special permission to explore the Himalayas in 1949
while the country was yet to be opened for foreign visitors.
Though Ganesh Himal range is closer to Kathmandu comparing
other ranges, it's far less exploited by trekking and
climbing groups. Trekking to Ganesh / Paldor starts
from Trishuli a small town north of Kathmandu valley.
After few days trip the trek touches the unexploited
alpine are. Trekking / Climbing in Paldor is more enjoyable
for alpine style holidays.
