Hard rock area

Located at an extraordinary 3,600 meters, Hard Rock Area is one of the highest bouldering area in the world, located in Langtang, Nepal. The area features the youngest granite rocks on Earth, offering climbers an exceptional surface for challenging and unforgettable climbs, surrounded by breathtaking Himalayan scenery.

The best time to climb is autumn (October–December) and spring (mid-March–mid-June), when the weather is perfect, and the mountains are at their most spectacular. Hard Rock is more than a climb—it’s a high-altitude adventure like no other.

You can easily find the Hard Rock Area along the Langtang trekking trail — just look out for the signboard installed by Langtang Outdoor Initiative.
