About Expedition and climbing in Nepal
For
those looking for little more than trekking, Nepal has trekking peaks
to offer. There are 18 minor peaks recognized as 'Trekking Peaks' open
for Alpine climbing under Nepal Mountaineering Association. The climbing
of these peaks is controlled under the rules & regulations formulated
by this Association. Detailed information & application for climbing
permits are available from the Association’s Office or contact us

Association). Difficulty in Peak Climbing

(Trekking Peaks) required snow and Ice climbing experience. By Himalayan
standards these are considered minor peaks, but in fact some of them provide
relatively challenging snow and Ice climbing of high standard, & more
so in Winter.Peak climbing Permit
Permit is necessary for climbing these peaks. Climbing permit could be
issued only by legitimate agency within Nepal and a climbing guide is
essential. Adrift Adventures Nepal provides qualified & trained climbing
