Tibet — Normal Route
If you're looking to climb an 8,000-meter peak without risking your life, some of the safest and most accessible options include Shishapangma and Cho Oyu (both approached from Tibet), or Gasherbrum II in Pakistan. Among them, Shishapangma—the 14th highest mountain in the world at 8,201 meters—is considered one of the safest 8,000-meter climbs.
Shishapangma is the only 8,000-meter peak that lies entirely within Tibet, China. We offer expeditions that provide the best balance of quality, safety, and value. Our climbs are conducted with a strong staff-to-client ratio, reliable radio communication, AC power, and telephone access at both Base Camp (BC) and Advanced Base Camp (ABC)—everything you'd expect from a well-managed, high-altitude expedition and more.
