Mountaineering

With eight out of ten highest peaks in the world including the top of the world Mount Everest and more than 200 hundred other peaks of above 6000 meters, Nepal has been a test field for the most outstanding mountaineers and climbers for measuring their skills and endurance. Ever since the country opened its peaks to climbers in 1949, the Nepalese Himalayas have become a great theatre of mountaineering activity and the drama of success and failure have provided impetus to thousands of men and women to meet the ultimate challenge. These Himalayas have been an attraction to may people, be they saints, philosophers, researchers or adventurers. For expedition, mountaineers are advised to contact the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, Mountaineering Section, Singhdurbar, Kathmandu well in advance.
