Yala Peak Climbing – 10 Days

Introduction to Peak Climbing in Nepal

Peak climbing in Nepal is a challenging tourist activity. Nepal peak climbing takes you to the summit of the Himalayas and offers magnificent Himalayan views. After the successful summit of Mt. Everest by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary, many adventure seekers chose Nepal as their destination for the climbing trip. And climbing is one of the main adventure activities in Nepal today.

Nepal’s majestic snow-capped peaks provide the same thrill to both peak climbers and mountaineering enthusiasts. So peak climbing and mountaineering have been famous in Nepal from the very beginning. If you want to do more adventurous activities than trekking, then peak climbing in Nepal is the best option for you.

Peak Permit

There are many things to consider before climbing a peak in Nepal. Because the government has imposed various rules and restrictions while regulating climbing activities. For trekking peaks, you have to pay a royalty to the Nepal government. A royalty of USD 70 to USD 250 per person is payable, depending on the season and particular peak.

The issued permit is valid for one month. And an extra charge of 25% of the initial fee for the extension of the permit for each extra week. Almost all of Nepal’s trekking peaks are higher than other countries’ high mountains. Most of these peaks are not very technical, so any fit person can climb them. But some peaks need technical climbing skills, and only professional climbers should climb them.
