Hi Veebig......if u want to climb Shitidhar Peak why not try Ladakhi Peak at the same time .....their base camp is same, situated above Beascund and both can be climbed from the same call.... so think about it.....

Hi veebig.......sorry to say , but I havent climbed any of them.......we were attemting Friendship Peak during our course ,it is located in the same range and few of our friend had climbed Ladakhi at the same time ......the trek rout is same as Shitidhar but Ladakhi is higher and more challanging.......if u need further information or guide pls let me know.

May is tooo early for LADAKHI. Yu will be all walking and living in snow for SHITIDHAR and it will be requiring SNOW SHOES and ICE AXES along with ropes if you want to attempt in MAY.

This is good one but your timing is too early.

Hi sanjay those are some of the great snaps, tell me the cost for climbing the peak during may 2007

Shitidhar v/s Ladakhi

shitidhar can be attempted by people who can walk with snowshoes [ In May ] but Ladakhi requires good knowledge and good stamina also.

There has been nastly falls in LADAKHI- I suggest to try SHITIDHAR instead of Ladakhi.

Mos probably- Shitidhar will be all snowfaced in MAY. When I last saw it in MAY- it was all snow right from river crossing from 2 kms.ahead of DHUNDI camp.

But a cool mind, good guidence can always help in climbing this peak. Do try to learn some climbing techniques from someone experienced in team. This region is heaven for people who wants to learn...

We badly need some good climbers in India- wishing you guys all the best !!

i agree with himadventures we surely need more good climbers in india. btw amrik climbing shitidhar is completely possible again going with what himadventure says do not attempt ladhaki.
cheers

Is it possible to do shitidhar in 4-5 days from Delhi. What about options of accomodation etc. enroute.

himadventures · Apr 6th, 2007, 21:04

No- I do not want to encourage you to try SHITIDHAR in this tight schedule. You have to travel+trek+climb all without any rest...it should be minimum 7-8 days for a safe experience.

You will be reaching SOLANG VALLEY in ONE DAY-this is overnight travel from DELHI. Further you have to trek to BEAS KUND which is again sudden hight gain...and certainly not reccommended to do this. There is no accommodation enroute-you have to have all gear, supplies and ponies etc.

I think you are asking for RUN-FOR-SUMMIT..which I think could be risky.
