Nepal – The Ultimate Destination for Mountaineering and Trekking
Nepal, also known as the Himalayan kingdom, gained worldwide recognition when Tenzing Norgay Sherpa of Nepal and Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand conquered Mt. Everest in 1953. But did you know that Nepal is home to more than one thousand peaks over 6000m, including eight over 8000m?
Nepal’s golden decade of climbing in the 1950s saw most of its 8000m-plus mountains being conquered. Today, Nepal continues to be a haven for mountaineers and trekkers alike. Beginners can enjoy both trekking and peak climbing in the Everest, Annapurna, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Langtang regions. And for those looking for a challenge, there are still hundreds of virgin peaks to explore.
The Nepal Mountaineering Association issues climbing permits for 27 mountain peaks above 5600m up to 6500m. These peaks are also called NMA Peaks. Permits for climbing peaks above 6500m can be obtained from the Mountaineering Section of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation. Climbers must provide the required official documents when seeking permission to climb. While 121 peaks do not require liaison officers to be assigned to the expedition, the rest can only be climbed with one.
The climbing of these peaks is regulated under the rules and regulations formulated by the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation. Detailed information and application forms for climbing permits are available from registered trekking agencies in Kathmandu. It’s important to note that in most cases, even climbing these minor peaks requires snow and ice climbing experience. However, this experience can be obtained in Nepal through training (2-3 days) before your climb. Trekkers with this training are often able to go above 6000 meters and set new personal records.
Climbing up among the big mountains in Nepal is an unforgettable experience of a lifetime, even if you don’t reach the top of the peak. So if you’re looking for an adventure, Nepal is the ultimate destination for mountaineering and trekking.
