| The trekking peaks of Nepal
offer a great potential for adventure and
exploration and are less expensive than large-scale expeditions.
For travelers who can stomach greater adventures, there are
18 minor peaks open for Alpine climbing. Himalayan Glacier
Trekking provides you all the details, information and logistical
support required for making climbing arrangements for making
summit attempts on any of these peaks. Despite being below
6500m, these peaks 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
these treks be attempted only by climbers with technical know
how about snow and ice climbing, 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.
