Nepal has been the focus of outstanding achievements in the world of mountaineering, with it's eight peaks above 8000 meters. It has challenged the minds and bodies of those who have dared for decades Among the identified 1310 peaks above 6000 meter, one quarter are officially opened for mountaineering activities, including the 'trekking peaks'. Tackling these peaks is the next step beyond 'simply' trekking, before scaling the eight thousand.
The Nepal Mountaineering Association has designated 18 lesser summits, ranging in elevation from 5587 m. to 6654 m. as trekking peaks. These peaks offer a compromise between a standard trek and a full-on mountaineering expedition, ranging in difficulty from moderately steep glacier walks to technical, multi day rock and ice climbs previous climbing experience is not strictly necessary, but you need to be specially fit and able to cope with cold and stormy conditions. Himalaya Windhorse Adventure offers you a special arrangement to bring you to the summit of those peaks.
