Mountaineering In Nepal

Several attempts to climb on the world highest mountain, Everest were made in the 1920s and 30s from the Tibetan side of the Himalaya. When Nepal was then opened to foreigners, a vast range of new challenges presented themselves to adventurous climbers. Over the 30 years, however, what began as near free access to the mountains including Everest and the scared Machhapuchre, progressively became restricted to a few named expedition peaks. These mountains required a immense peak fee and liaison officer in addition to unusually burdensome officialdom and the month of pre-planning.

In 1978, under the control of the newly formed Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA), 18 mountains between 5587m (18331ft) and 6654m (21832ft) were opened to foreigners without restriction of expeditions peak. The bureaucracy was aerodynamic, a permit could be obtained from the NMA with the minimum fuss after arriving in Nepal and a liaison officer was not required.

In1998 a further 9 peaks were designated as trekking peaks by ministry of Tourism, separately from the NMA’s list. Controversially, some of these new peaks were simply low hills like Gokyo Ri and Yala, which until then, had been freely climbed and considered to be ‘outside’ the system.
