General overview

Shishapangma, known in Tibetan as “the god of the grasslands”, is the lowest of the world’s fourteen 8,000 metre peaks. It is also the only 8000-meter peak located wholly in Tibet, and has only been opened to foreign climbers since 1978. At 8,027 metres (26,289 feet), Shishapangma, is a great introduction to large Himalayan peaks that is easy enough to ski or snowshoe.
