Chamche’s Tare cliff best in the country for rock climbing

Chyamche (Lamjung). Experts have pointed out that the Chamche tare in Lamjung on the Annapurna circuit trail could be the best place in the country for rock climbing.

Experts affiliated with the Gandaki Alpine Club in coordination with the Marsyangdi village municipality have come to this conclusion. “We have been doing rock climbing in different places inside and outside the country.

Based on that, there is a great rock for climbing here,” said Narendra Shahi, president of the club and an international mountain guide.” Chairman of Marsyangdi village municipality Arjun Gurung said that ward no.

Experts say they have been called in to see if the Tare cliff is suitable for “rock climbing”. “As per their advice and suggestions, we ourselves and the state and federal governments will be urged for the development of its infrastructure,” he said.

Although rock climbing has not gained the status of a sport in Nepal, its popularity has been increasing lately. In some places of the capital Kathmandu, artificial rock is also used for climbing and it has been made mandatory during mountaineering training.
