Nepal is a country well known for its Himalayan mountain range. Among the 10 highest peaks in the world, eight, including the highest peak Mt. Everest, crown this country. Nothing on earth can beat the exhilaration of scaling them. No wonder Nepal is the favorite destination for mountaineers and every year more than 500 expeditions trudge up the Himalayas. There are four seasons for mountaineering in Nepal: Spring - March to May,, Summer - June to August, Autumn - September to November and Winter - December to February. A total of 153 Himalayan peaks are open to mountaineers in these seasons
The growing Himalayas are a temptation for those that want to be tethered to them - or want to free climb the mountains. Whatever your pleasure, these young mountains are sure to offer enough finger-clinging holds to give a lifetime of memories. Most trekking outfitters offer all the gear you'll need for mountaineering. But for more specific climbing needs, consider coming loaded with your own gear.
