Peak climbing in Nepal are typically challenging both technically and physically. They require significant climbing skills and are usually conducted on sub-eight-thousand-meter high mountains where acclimatization is easier, allowing more focus on climbing skill rather than brute force to combat altitude.
The Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) has been authorized by the Mountaineering Section of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation (MoCTCA) to issue peak climbing permits. The Nepal government has opened 326 peaks for peak climbing and mountaineering.
Our goal is to provide helpful information, advice, and practical services to the climbing community. In Himalayan standards, there are smaller mountains known as "trekking peaks" (ranging from 5587 to 6500 meters) that can be climbed by any fit and enthusiastic trekkers. Climbing these trekking peaks in Nepal is the next step beyond simply trekking. However, it requires basic mountaineering skills above the snow line, such as using ice axes, climbing boots with crampons, ropes, etc., under the supervision and instruction of professional climbing guides. All of our climbing guides have significant mountaineering expertise and experience, including multiple ascents of Mount Everest and other Himalayan peaks.
