Located high up in the mountains, Nepal has always been a country of eternal fascination - the kingdom of the mighty Himalayas with Mt. Everest as its crowning glory. The lure of the mountains has always been inescapable. It has inspired poets to write verses, filmmakers and writers. IMAX films like "Everest" by David Breashears and the hugely popular book "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakuer bear testimony to the appeal that the Himalayas have on people. Climbers come each year to tame these colossal giants. Some come for personal glory, some come on a quest - a form of psychological pilgrimage to set out not just to conquer this huge obstacles but also to attain a new level of understanding about the inner self - a search for the personal Shangri-La. With 8 peaks over 8000 meters, and the northern frontiers draped by high towering peaks, Nepal has always been a paradise for thrill seekers. And the simple fact that Everest, an overpowering attraction, was there to be climbed as the famous English climber Mallory had put it, drew in Nepal's first tourists - the mountaineers. After the first conquest of an 8000 peak, the Annapurna, in 1950 by a Frenchman named Maurice Herzog several westerners assaulted the highest peak in the world until an unknown beekeeper from New Zealand and a Sherpa for the Everest region stood on the top of the world. Now mountaineering has come a long way from those pioneering years. Now it is style in which you do it that matters. Several records have been made and shattered but still the peaks stand tall and proud.
Unlike trekking climbing is an activity that cannot be undertaken alone by the client. As per Government rules it is imperative that climbers work in liaison with an agency recognized by Government. Peaks in Nepal are classified as climbing peaks and trekking peaks.
Permits for climbing peaks are issued by the Ministry of Tourism. To apply for a climbing peak permit the following documents are required.
For the second category of peaks classified as trekking peaks the permit is issued by Nepal Mountaineering Association, which is the national alpine club of Nepal.
