Arrival In Kathmandu (1,400m) And Transfer To The Hotel
The thrill of the climb begins at touchdown in Kathmandu. The energy of this bustling capital city screams of the determination required for big climbs.

It is also a good time to meet your fellow climbers and the entire team that backs this climb.
