SKI EXPEDITION

in Nepal

Mt. Lhotse (8516m) witnessed the first successful Ski-Climbing record by Xtreme Climbers in the fall/autumn of 2018. Additionally, destinations like Mera Peak, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Thorong La Pass, Dhorpatan, and Langtang's Kyanjin Gompa offer excellent skiing opportunities in Nepal. It has been proven that numerous areas in Nepal experience snowfall during the winter season, providing ample opportunities for skiing. The period after December is particularly suitable for opening and organizing skiing packages in Nepal, especially in high altitude areas with sufficient snowfall and flat slopes conducive to skiing.

Xtreme Climbers has introduced a High Altitude Skiing program as an ideal opportunity for backcountry skiers in the Nepal Himalayas, ranging from 6000m to over 8000m. The program provides high altitude Climbing Sherpa guides and professional skiers who have successfully completed skiing activities in the Himalayas. Their experience, expertise, and advanced logistics techniques are essential for ski guides.

The main objectives of skiing in Nepal are to promote the country as a winter sports destination, attracting tourists during the winter season to boost revenue in the tourism sector. It also aims to encourage Nepali outdoor enthusiasts, such as trekkers and guides, to learn skiing and potentially pursue it as a hobby or profession. Skiing can also promote internal tourism during the winter months, allowing visitors to experience mountain culture while skiing in high valleys. Additionally, teaching local children how to ski helps create awareness of the possibilities available in winter sports.
