Mountaineering in Nepal
Grafik

The Nepal Himalayas extend over an impressive stretch of almost 800 km from Byas Rishi Himal in the west to Kanchenjunga in the east. Mountain climbing is one of the most popular sports among visitors in Nepal. With eight of the world's fourteen highest peaks above 8,000 meters, Nepal offers challenging snow and ice climbing of the highest standard. Climbing permits to scale the Nepal Himalayas are issued in all seasons.

Fees or royalties depend upon the altitude of the peak starting with US$ 1,000 for peaks below 6,501 meters and rising by US$ 500 for every 500 meters. Apart from mountains above 8,000 meters, Nepal possesses some most beautiful mountain peaks such as Machhapuchre and some peaks that are climbed frequently such as Ama Dablam, Pumori, Baruntse and Tilicho.

The role of mountain tourism is considered very significant in overall tourism development. Many mountaineers turned towards Nepal after the successful ascent of Mt. Annapurna I (8,091) by French nationals Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal on June 3, 1950. This ascent was the first successful attempt of a mountain over 8,000 meters. Three years later, with successful scaling of Mt. Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa on 29 May, 1953, Nepal was introduced all over the world.
