Mountaneering in Nepal
Nepal offers unlimited possibilities to mountaineers all over the world. The decade of 1950’s, known as the Golden Decade of Climbing, was when most of the peaks over 8000 m were conquered. Today Nepal has officially opened about 326 peaks for mountaineering. Out of those, liaison officers are not required for expeditions to about 121 peaks, whereas it is compulsory in the case of the remaining peaks.
Mountaineers must acquire climbing permits for desired peaks from the Mountaineering Section of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation of Nepal. Likewise, you can buy or rent required climbing gears and equipment in any of the related stores in Kathmandu.
