Peak Climbing in Nepal |
The trekking peaks of Nepal offer a great potential
adventure and exploration and are less expensive than
large-scale expeditions. For travelers 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 6500m, 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 climbing of these peaks is
monitored by Nepal Mountaineering Association and is
subject to the rules & regulations formulated by this
Association. |
