Peak Climbing in
Nepal |
|
|
33 of Nepal’s peaks have been
designated as ‘Trekking Peaks’. The Nepal
Mountaineering Association (NMA) issues permissions for
expeditions to these with very simple formalities. The
NMA was founded in 1973 with the objectives of promoting
mountaineering activities in the Nepal Himalaya, safeguarding
the interests of Nepalese involved in expeditions by upgrading
their professional and mountaineering skills, popularizing
mountaineering activities among Nepalese students and
youths, and creating awareness, both at national and international
levels, of the need to preserve the beauty of the Himalaya
for future generations. Some Trekking Peaks are easy ‘walk
ups’, but others are technical and can sometimes
be dangerous. In general a team of guides, porters, kitchen
crews and both kitchen and camping gear are necessary
to undertake expeditions to these peaks. |
