Shishapangma happens to be the only peak lying entirely in Tibet and is regarded to be one of the easier 8000 m peaks along with Cho-Oyu, though it is most straightforward 8000 m climb that the summit is frequently achieved. The approach is same as for Cho-Oyu. Among the 14 peaks over 8000 meters in the world, Shisha Pangma ranks the last. The climate of Shisha Pangma is quite close to that of Everest. The best timing for mountaineering activities comes each year in April-May and September-October.
