Nepal Peak Climbing
Climbing in Nepal is the dream of mountaineers all over the world. Mount Everest lies here, which is ultimate goal. Everest is so popular that one has to wait in a long queue for five to six years to book the peak.
Besides the lofty Himalayan summits, there are 18 minor peaks called trekking summits, which can be climbed by trekkers. For this a proper permit is required from the Nepalese authorities. Some of these trekking peaks are reasonably difficult and provide a good degree of adventure.
Apart from Everest, other mountaineering peaks in Nepal have also to be booked in advance. Applications in this regard are to be addressed to the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). Permission for the trekking the peaks is usually granted for a period of two weeks and this can be extended for an additional two weeks.

Mera Peak Climbing
The Mera peak trek (6476m) is famed for being the biggest trekking peak in Nepal, though there is little technical difficulty required to climb. Mera Peak rises to the South of Everest and dominates the beautiful and remote valleys of Hinku and Hongu. The ascent of Mera Peak is made from the Mera La pass (5415m) on the Northern Face, which connects the unpopulated valley of Hongu to the Hinku valley.
Yala Peak Climbing
Yala peak is a part of the Langtang Himal which is located at the central part of Nepal. Walking through the dense forest and traditional ethnic settlements you reach the wonderful base camp of Yala peak. The base camp of Yala Peak is Kyangjin Gompa (3749m/12300 ft).
Island Peak Climbing
It is no surprise that Himalayan peaks have drawn adventurers, climbers and cultural enthusiasts for nearly 200 years. The stark and rugged terrain, so entwined with the culture of local Sherpa people, offers such powerful experiences that Himalayan travel stands in a class by itself. While many think of travel to the Himalayas as only high altitude climbing or trekking
Hiuchuli Peak Climbing
Hiunchuli, at a height of 6,441 meters, forms a massive south-facing wall together with Annapurna South. Its eastern face overlooks the Modi Khola and guards the entrance to the Annapurna Sanctuary. An American Peace Corps Expedition, via the southeast face, first climbed Hiunchuli in October 1971.
