Introduction - Climbing

There are 1700 Peaks (the major portion of the Mountain range.) in Nepal, Himalayas that exceed 5500 meters to 8848m (29,028ft) in height above sea level.. Presently , Only 282 of these peaks are open to expeditions . This makes our country exceptionally popular for mountaineers. Since 1978, the Nepal Mountaineering Association has had the authority to issue climbing permits for small-scale peaks. For the permit you should apply for the permit through the trekking agency & you should have climbing guide otherwise permit is not issued. Trekking agency provides qualified & trained climbing guides to take non climbers for convenience, safety & expected successes. By Himalayan standards these are considered minor peaks, but in fact some of them provide relatively challenging snow and Ice climbing of high standard, & more so in Winter.
