Nepal is trekkers paradise. The only best way to experience Nepal's unbeatable combination of natural beauty and cultural richness is to trek through them. The immense contrasts in altitudes and climates found here support an equally spectacular mix of life-styles, vegetation types and wildlife. Anybody with a spirit of adventure and mental preparedness can take up trekking expeditions. It is not mountaineering or sport but just days of walking. Neither you need any advanced training nor have to be a sportive. While mountain climbing can be wonderful in Nepal, only experienced climbers should even consider it. Some 18 peaks don't require a great deal of red tape to climb, and scores more can be climbed with advance planning. You should apply to the Nepal Ministry of Tourism at least six months in advance. In a bid to attract more mountaineers, the Nepalese government has been lowering prices considerably on several mountains. The climbing season is different from the Trekking season: April-June is best for climbing; September and October are also possible. 18 peaks of Nepal have been designated as "Trekking Peaks" and Nepal Mountaineering Association issues permission for climbing expedition with simple formalities. Some of these peaks are easy "walk ups" where as others are technical and sometime can be dangerous. A fully equipped team of guides, Sherpas, porters' etc is necessary to scale these peaks.
