GO TREK Trekking Peaks The Allure of Climbing Nepal’s chief assets are her mountains. With more than 1000 peaks (above 5000 metres) forming a formidable chain of snow, ice and rock from east to west on the northern borders of the country, Nepal’s Himalayan Mountains serve as a natural barrier. Like giant sentinels, the Himalaya has protected the country from marauding armies and foreign invasions through the ages. Thanks to her lofty peaks, Nepal has that rare distinction of being one of the few countries to remain free from foreign domination. While the mountains repelled the advances of foreign forces in earlier times, now they are a chief draw for tourists visiting the country. Call it the allure of the Himalaya, most tourists in Nepal head to the mountains as soon as they step into the country. Trekking and mountaineering expedition groups make up more than seventy percent of the country’s total tourist arrivals. The mountains, most declare, are addictive. Once you step on it, you want to return to it again. Yes, the spellbinding beauty of the Himalayan peaks, only those who have been on their lofty heights understand their allure. Nepal is mountain heaven. From easy little hills to grand, extremely challenging eight thousanders, this tiny Himalayan nation is home to peaks of all sizes. Nepal Mountaineering Association has designated peaks below 7000 metres as Trekking Peaks. The name is a little misleading as ascents up these peaks involve technical climbing. One needs to be a trained climber to tackle most of these peaks. In all there are 33 trekking peaks in Nepal. Except for six minor peaks, one needs a permit from NMA to climb these trekking peaks. Listed below are some of the popular trekking peaks. | 42
