Peak climbing in Nepal
Known as the Himalayan Kingdom, Nepal has 1310 mountains (the major portion of the Mountain range.) which are over 5500 meters (18,090 ft) to 8848m (29,028ft) above sea level. This makes Nepal exceptionally popular for mountaineers.
Since 1978, the Nepal Mountaineering Association has had the authority to issue climbing permits for small-scale peaks. Thanks to our NMA membership, Thin Air Adventure can see to permitting without the previously complicated application process.
Our Guides are experienced high elevation mountaineers, altitude sickness and simple first AID. They are trained to take you safely into the thin air region of the majestic Himalayas. They are particularly concerned about the acclimatization process. Unlike certain other organizers, we only dispatch guides who are have summit experience on your target mountain.
We shall gladly send you the rules and regulations of the Nepal Mountaineering association upon request. If you are interested venture into the snow and ice regions of the high Himalayas, please contact us for detailed information. We can arrange equipment, guides, high altitude porters, and all food and accessories. Any NMA-approved mountain can be targeted. There is only one item you have to bring yourself: brave and spirit! Asian Travelers Treks will see to everything else.
Regulations
Compared to expedition peaks, the regulations pertaining to trekking peaks are relatively simple. A permit is required, which is issued by the NMA upon payment of a royalty fee. Generally our agency will be able to arrange the issue of a trekking peak permit within 24 hours.
Preparation
Preparation for climbing a trekking peak is far simpler than for an expedition. The climbing period for most of the trekking peaks rarely exceeds more than a few days so large amounts of base camp equipment are not usually required. Also, due to their relatively low altitude, the amount of climbing equipment required is proportionally less. In general, preparation for climbing a trekking peak is little different from preparing for a trek.
Seasons
The lower altitude of a trekking peaks means that the ascent some of them is possible during the winter season as well as during the spring and autumn.
Permits and entry fees
The system of trekking permits that was in force for some years has been abandoned for most of the general trekking areas. This means that for areas such as the Annapurnas, the Everest region and Langtang trekkers no longer need to obtain permission before setting off.
There are still a number of restricted areas that are regulated to a greater of lesser extent.
