Wall Climbing

In foreign countries there are a lot of adventure sports and it is slowly picking up here in Nepal too. We now have Wall Climbing an artificial wall or rock climbing site in the capital. Named after the first Nepali woman to conquer Mt. Everest Passang Lamhu Sherpa this wall climbing site has been named as Passang Lamhu Wall Climbing. It is in Kathmandu in a place called Mandikhatar. Seen from a few metres away the wall it is a five to six storied building and it is also used by rock climbers and mountaineers in the form of practice sessions. Though the competition we see in the X-Games is still to be practiced here. All in all it is one of the recreational sports here in Nepal.
