Expedition in Nepal (Peak Climing) |
Nepal's Himalaya has many mountain peaks
for expedition. Some are technically
more challenging peaks which need more
experience with snow and ice and some
comparatively easy. We have some peak
less than 6500m. in Khumvu, Langtang,
Annapurna, other region to climb in
small scale. Some peaks like Mera peak,
Island peak, Pisang peak, Tent peak,
Lobuche east are more popular to the
beginners. Other peaks like Singu Chuli,
Hiunchuli, Chulu West, Pachermo Peak are
comparatively demanding. The beginners
take these peak as an advance to climb
more higher mountain like 7000m.or
8000m. The use of rope and other
mountaineering equipments is necessary
and it is strongly recommended that the
climbers have experience climbing guide.
All climbers are required to obtain
permission for peak climbing through the
NMA of which Alpine Asian Treks and
Expedition (AATE) is an active member.
AATE can provide all the necessary
mountaineering/ climbing equipment,
fully trained guide and all the
logistical support necessary to realize
a successful summit. The best season for
the peak climbing in Nepal either in
Spring or in Autumn. Most of the
peak are few days far from the tea house
or lodge trek but still it requires a
fully organized team. Himalayas are
always welcoming to you but you should
go smoothly to avoid the mountain
sickness. Normally in any season it
requires warm enough clothing to be
protected form the frost bite and cold
or some similar problem. |
