The Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) oversees a selection of 27 designated peaks, commonly known as “Trekking Peaks” and “Expedition Peaks.” These mountains are generally considered more accessible compared to the major Himalayan giants, making them ideal for climbers looking to gain high-altitude experience. However, some of these peaks still demand solid technical skills and can serve as excellent preparation for more demanding climbs, including 8,000-meter expeditions.
To manage these climbs effectively, the NMA categorizes the peaks into two groups: Group A – NMA Expedition Peaks and Group B – NMA Trekking Peaks. Each category has its own permit fee structure based on the level of difficulty and altitude, ensuring a clear and organized system for climbers planning their adventures in Nepal.
