Trekking Peaks in Nepal

Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) is a national alpine association of Nepal and has categorized the mountains of Nepal into expedition and trekking peaks. Peaks above 7,000 m are categorized as expedition peaks that demand much higher permit fees and more mountaineering technical skills. As per NMA, a trekking peak is a mountain under 7,000 metres which is considered climbable by anyone with a moderate amount of mountaineering experience and skills. While some can be climbed without crampons or an ice axe, most require use of this equipment. Trekking peaks offer a great potential adventure and exploration.

For trekkers there are 18 minor peaks open for Alpine climbing. Unique Adventure International provides all kinds of detailed information and logistical support required for climbing arrangements to attempt summits. In spite of the fact that the altitude of the peaks is below 6600m, they offer a serious challenge often passing over rocky, icy and snowy terrain. The use of ropes and other mountaineering equipment is also necessary on these treks. It is strongly recommended that the climbers having technical know-how on snow and ice climbing can attempt these peaks, except for a few easy peaks such as Mera Peak (6476m). The association has classified the trekking peaks into two sub-categories as Group "A" and Group "B" peaks. Association monitors all climbing activities of these peaks and are subject to its rules & regulations.
