Change will come to the Nepalese way of life, but it behoves travellers from the modernized countries to understand and respect the values and virtues of life today in rural Nepal . They have much to teach us about how to live.

Compared to Expedition peaks the regulations pertaining to trekking peaks are relatively simple. A permit is required which is issued by the Nepal Mountaineering Association on payment of the royalty fee (for more information a Royalty list is available on this page).
The outlined itineraries listed in our menu are two examples of trekking peaks which are achievable with a reasonable degree of climbing technique, Mera peak is the easiest requiring little more than determination. It should be remembered, any trekking peak, regardless of its difficulty demands respect and can be dangerous in poor weather conditions.
We have also listed below outline itineraries of other peaks which we equip for. |
