More than any thing else, Nepal is best known
for it mountains and mountaineering. Nowhere else earth
can you find such a concentration of high snow-capped
mountains and have the opportunity to climb some of the
highest peaks in the world. Of course, Everest
immediately comes to mind when people think of Nepal but
what is less often known is that Nepal is home to
another seven peaks over 8000 meters and innumerable
other between six and eight thousand meters. Currently
more than 326 peaks are available for expeditions with
an additional 33 minor peaks being designated as
“Trekking Peaks”.
The climbing of these peaks is controlled under the
rules and regulations formulated by this Nepal
Mountaineering Association (NMA). Detailed information
and
application for climbing permits are available from the
Association’s Office or contact your agent in Kathmandu.
It should be noted that in most cases the climbing of
these Trekking Peaks require some snow and Ice climbing
experience.
