Dear Climber, Dear Mountaineer,
Dear Trekker,
We take pleasure in offering you here a list of
Himalayan peaks that are open for Mountaineering
Expeditions in the Nepal Himalaya. Any person or group
can climb these list of peaks upon the completion of all
formalities as required by the Ministry of Tourism, His
Majesty's Government of Nepal.
Realizing mountaineering as the
back-bone of Nepals tourism industry, the
Government of Nepal has made following decisions
in a bid to make mountaineering royalty fee
competitive amongst the neighboring countries,
promote mountains lying in remote and less
privileged areas, and create environment to
transform the seasonal mountaineering business
operational round the year and materialize the
concept of Nepal for all Seasons.
Provide discount of 50% in winter and Summer
Season and 75% in Autumn Season keeping intact
the Royalty Fee in Spring Season.
Increase the number of climbing member in an
expedition from 12 to 15.
Provide 100% discount on Royalty Fee for
mountains located in mid and Far Western
Development Regions for 5 years.
Implement Incremental Royalty Break-down System
(IRDS), a system under which permit fee
increases with the increase in number of
climbing members, on all mountains instead of
lump sum per expedition having climbing members
seven or less than that.
