Expedition in Nepal

Nepal boasts over 1,300 snow-capped peaks above 6,000 metres, 326 of which are accessible to mountaineers. Most demand complex rock and ice climbing skills, therefore only the most experienced climber should attempt them. Others, however, can be climbed with excellent physical and mental health, as well as knowledge of basic winter equipment such as crampons, ice axes, and fixed rope descent procedures.

Some are extremely popular due to their accessibility (both technically and geographically), such as Putha Hiunchuli, Lamjung Himal, Cho Oyu, Manaslu, Lhotse, and Everest. Aside from technical experience, Everest climbers must have at least one ascent of a peak higher than 6,500 meters in Nepal since 2019. Other summits, however, need a high level of climbing technique, such as Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Baruntse, Nuptse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga or Annapurna.
An expedition in Nepal allows travelers to conquer some of the world's most breathtaking peaks, ranging from towering 8000-meter giants to tough 6000-meter summits. Nepal has an extraordinary range of mountains, including prominent peaks exceeding 8000 meters such as Mount Everest (8,848 meters), Mount Kanchenjunga (8,586 meters), Mount Lhotse (8,516 meters), Mount Makalu (8,463 meters), and Mount Cho Oyu (8,201 meters). These fearsome giants entice climbers from all over the world to push their boundaries and experience the exhilaration of standing atop the world's highest peaks.
 
For those seeking slightly less intimidating tasks, Nepal has a plethora of spectacular peaks in the 7000- and 6000-meter levels. Mountains such as Mount Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Mount Manaslu (8,163 m), and Mount Annapurna (8,091 m) offer thrilling chances for high-altitude adventure and exploration.

In addition to these towering giants, Nepal has numerous 7000-meter peaks, including Mount Kanchenjunga (7,577 m) and Mount Makalu (7,656 m). These summits present a demanding challenge for experienced climbers looking to push their boundaries and test their abilities at high altitudes.
 
In addition, there are other summits in the 6000-meter range in Nepal, including Ama Dablam (6,812 m), Island Peak (6,189 m), and Mera Peak (6,476 m). Climbers can develop their technical climbing skills and obtain invaluable experience in alpine situations by taking advantage of these mountains.

Whether climbing the imposing 8000-meter monster or discovering the untamed splendor of a 6000-meter mountain, an expedition in Nepal ensures a once-in-a-lifetime experience rich in spectacular landscapes, demanding topography, and unmatched cultural encounters.

Expedition Logistics and Regulations

Every climbing expedition aiming to summit an eight-thousand-meter peak or any other mountain must obtain approval from the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation. Once secured, the expedition closely follows the approved route and conditions outlined in the permit provided by the Government of Nepal. A government-appointed Liaison Officer forms a vital element of the expedition team.

Before acquiring a permit, an expedition team must pay a trash fee, which is an important step in promoting responsible climbing activities. The amount varies depending on the mountain, ranging from US$ 500 to $4,000. This payment is refundable if the team provides clear evidence of responsible waste disposal.
