 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.
