Lying along south-east end of Ganesh Himal range, Paldor Peak is 5896m tall. The summit of Paldor offers exquisite array of Himalayas including Pabil (7,101m.), Logsang Karpo (7,150m.), Ganesh I (7,406m.) and Ganesh V (6,950m.).

On a sunny day with blue skies, Paldor Peak range is almost visible even from Kathmandu Valley. This region is a collage of tranquil lakes, waterfall, great Himalayan landscapes and rich Tamang culture. This peak was first climbed by Bill Tilman, Peter Lloyd, Tenzing Sherpa and Da Namgyal during the monsoon of 1949 via the North-East Ridge.
