Just as the mountain spire rising into a stark prominence from the abode of snow-covered low peaks around; your mountaineering zeal and your adventure spirit reach their highest prominence as you successfully scale the eighth highest mountain of the world in the Himalayas of Nepal — Mt. Manaslu (8163m).

Climbing any peak going over 8,000 meters is a serious mountaineering venture in all senses. Attempting to climb Mt Kanchenjunga (8598m) is no different at all: it puts into a good test the acumen, endurance, patience, spirit of even the expert climbers. Mt Kanchenjunga is the world’s third tallest mountain after Mt Everest and Mt K2, and the second tallest mountain of Nepal.

A top-class mountaineering expedition in the Himalayas of Nepal, only those able to overcome one of the most formidable, most thrilling treks, and all the adverse conditions of High Himalayas are blessed with the success of standing atop the world’s seventh highest mountain. Yet none of these mighty challenges have deterred the climbers—record proves that it has been conquered nearly two dozen times since its first ascent in 1960.

Only a few trekking and climbing trails can serve a perfect mixture of pristine nature, unique culture, grand views, and adventure experienced pleasantly. The route to Tent Peak (its Nepali name is Tharpu Chuli) offers the best combination of all these in the Annapurna region of Nepal.

Mera Peak, scaled first in 1953 and measuring 6,654 m, is the highest among the peaks categorized as trekking peaks in Nepal, located in Khumbu Region. Let your dream of seeing the majestic Himalayas from the top of one of the peaks come true by taking this challenge designed especially for adventurers like you.

Standing above Pisang village in Annapurna region, Pisang Peak (6091m) gets its name from the same. Categorized by the Mountaineering Association of Nepal as a Group B Climbing Peak, you do not need to have much experience to attempt the summit. One of the best options is to embark on the world famous Annapurna Circuit Trek and try an ascent of the summit as a mountaineering experience on the side.

Kyajo Ri (6190m) is one of the prominent peaks in the Mahalangur mountain range of Khumbu Region that extends from the north of Namche to the Nepal-Tibet border. Mountaineers of late have been keenly interested in this mountain and have made several successful climbs because the mountain has a clearly discernible pointed summit and no taller mountains close-by, thus offering an unimpeded view from the summit.

Cholatse is only 6440m tall, thus standing as a lesser mountain in the community of several 8-thousanders of Everest (Khumbu) region.  In terms of ascent, however, it is very tough and challenging, so much so that its first successful ascent came in 1982, almost three decades after the human had conquered the tallest mountain of the world, viz, the Everest.

Naya Kanga Peak (5844m) in Langtang region is for those who want to have exciting mountaineering experience without much strain. The normal route to the summit of the peak climbs through the peak’s northeastern face, and the summit offers incredible views of Himalayan panorama in Nepal and Tibet. Excluding the rest day set aside for acclimatization, it takes only a couple of days to reach the summit and come back to the base camp once we reach there.

Climbers and mountaineers in Nepal do not need to choose only the 8,000 m plus peaks for a full taste of mountaineering. Island Peak (6189m) in the Khumbu region of Nepal is one such peak which is exciting enough for every mountaineer. A neighbor of Mt Everest along with numerous other peaks, hundreds of mountaineers attempt it every year because its ascent comes with the full range of efforts, adventures, and use of skills which every mountaineer craves for.
