Rock climbing is a challenging and exciting sport that involves ascending natural rock formations. It is the activity of climbing rock faces, especially with the aid of ropes and special equipment. It is a physically and mentally demanding sport that needs climber's strength, patience, alertness and balance along with the mental control. Rock climbing can be enjoyed both indoors at climbing gyms and outdoors on natural rock formations.
Nepal offers a very attractive rock climbing experience. There are different types of rock climbing like top-roping, lead or sport climbing, traditional climbing, big wall climbing and bouldering. It is essential to prioritize safety, practice proper technique, and continuously develop skills through training and experience. There are some terrific places for those who get their kicks from crawling up vertical cliffs. Most of the cliffs are situated to the north and northwest of the valley, near to the Nagarjun jungle and the Shivapuri watershed and wildlife reserve where rock climbing can be performed.
