Trekking in Nepal
General Information About The Himalayas country of Nepal
Nepal is a small independent kingdom, located on the southern slopes of the Central Himalayas. Nepal has an unparalleled concentration of the world's highest mountains, including eight of the world's fourteen 8000-meter peaks. A ninth such peak, Shisha Pangma, is just over the border into Tibet. Nepal Himalaya consists of numerous subranges the most popular of them being the Annapurna and Khumbu Everest regions.
Areas are divided into the following main areas, most of which are further divided into groups or Himalayas ranges:
Dhaulagiri-Mukut:-Annapurna area Annapurna region is the most popular trekking and climbing area in Nepal, even more, popular than the Khumbu region. The area has two very popular treks: Annapurna Sanctuary trek and Annapurna Circuit, both of which are also important means of access to climbs both within Annapurna Sanctuary and on nearby Damodar Himal. Annapurna I is very famous but doesn't see hordes of climbers due to technical difficulties as well as significant objective hazards. Macchapucchare is probably the second most famous of the group. It is a sacred mountain and is not open to climbers. Those aside, several trekking peaks are accessible from Annapurna Sanctuary as well as from the neighboring valley to the east. Particularly Tharpu Chuli (Tent Peak) is popular. Additionally, Chulu Peaks and Pisang peak located on Damodar Himal is generally approached from Annapurna Circuit.
Manaslu-Ganesh Gurkha Himal is Located to the east of Annapurna. The giant of the area is Manaslu (8163m). Technically easy Himlung Himal is another famous peak in the area. Ganesh Himal is Located between Gurkha Himal in the West and Langtang in the east, separated from the latter by the Trisuli River. Trisuli river valley is used to access the eastern reaches of Ganesh. While Ganesh (7406m), Ganesh V (6950m), Pabil (7101m), and Lapsang Karbo (7150m) are far higher, probably the most popular climbing destination in the area is trekking peak Paldor (5928m, group B), located in SE end of Ganesh.
Langtang Himal Langtang valley is located to the east of Ganesh and the west of Rolwaling and Khumbu, directly to the north (30km) of Kathmandu. On the north side of Langtang valley rises Langtang Himal with Langtang II (6571m), Langtang Lirung (7205m, the highest peak accessible directly from Langtang valley), Yubra Himal (6035m) Tsanbu Ri (6760m), Yensa Tenji (6543m), Tsergo (5732m) and Tsergo Ri (4984m). In the west, at the end of Langtang valley, and on the southern side on valley rises Jugal Himal with Morimoto Peak (6750m), Bhemlang Karpu (5691m), Langshisa Ri (6151m), Gangchampo (Gang Chennpo, 6387m) and Naya Kanga (Gang-La Chuli, 5846m).
Khumbu-Rolwaling-Makalu Rolwaling Himal is Located SW of the Khumbu region, to the north of Rolwaling valley. The highest peak of the group is Melungtse (7181m) and Gauri Sankar (7145m). Rolwaling also has trekking peaks, Kwangde, Parchamo, Chekigo and Ramdung. Mahalangur Himal Khumbu is a very popular area in eastern Nepal. It is located to the northeast of Rolwaling, separated from it by Dudh Kosi valley. Besides 8000-meter giants (Everest, Lhotse) and picturesque Ama Dablam.
Kangchenjunga Himalayas Sikkim lies sandwiched between Nepal in the west and Bhutan in the east, directly north of the Bay of Bengal. It was formerly independent but is a known part of India. The mountains of Sikkim are renowned for their poor weather, frequent snowfall, and general cloud cover. The considerable precipitation on these often steep-sided peaks produces spectacular flutings and corniced crests much more in keeping with Peruvian mountains than those of the Himalayas. The range is dominated by massive Kangchenjunga (8586m), the easternmost 8000m peak. Little is known about the area and access is complicated. However, there are several high peaks, including several unclimbed 7000m peaks. Darjeeling, lying some 70km south of Kangchenjunga is the most conveniently located starting point for climbs in Sikkim.
Kathmandu (1300m) is the starting point for virtually all climbing activities in Nepal. From there, areas lying in Central Nepal (mainly Ganesh and Langtang) can be accessed by car in a day, usually via Chunche. Climbs in Western Nepal are usually accessed from Pokhara (accessible from Kathmandu by Tourist bus, Local/private car, or plane). Eastern areas are most conveniently reached by trekking, bus/jeep, or taking a plane from Kathmandu to Lukla.
Weather and conditions:-The weather is cool in the mountains year-round, with winters being especially severe, and monsoon season creating impossible traveling conditions as the heavy rains bring torrents and mudslides. The best time for climbing or trekking in Nepal is during either the pre-monsoon (March/April through early May) or post-monsoon (late September through November) seasons.
Rules and regulations:-Climbing in Nepal as an entire are encouraged but tightly regulated. Access is only allowed on government-approved peaks. There are different categories of peaks, and the difference in the amount of bureaucracy (and cost) varies dramatically between these.
Expedition Peaks:-Climbing expedition peaks require a fair bit of bureaucracy. Some of the peaks have such long waiting lists that a trip must be planned for years. Both the amount of necessary civil service and the price of a climbing permit vary dramatically between peaks. Mount Everest is by far the most expensive.
Trekking Peaks:-On the other end of the price range are so-called "trekking peaks". There are currently two groups of trekking peaks; the original 18 trekking peaks are group B peaks while "new" trekking peaks form group A (slightly more expensive). Trekking peaks are typically between 5500 and 6500 high.
The term "trekking peak" might lead you to expect that trekking is all that is needed to submit them. Big mistake, the word "trekking" does not have anything to do with the technical difficulty of these mountains. While some of them are technically quite easy (such as the standard route of Mera Peak), some on the other are extremely difficult (Kusum Kanguru is often regarded as the most difficult with the easiest route graded alpine D or TD). Some of the "newer" group A peaks are practically unclimbed, however, there are some very difficult mountains among those, particularly Cholatse but also Pharilapcha, Kyajo Ri, Bokta, and Langhisa Ri.

Commercial services:- Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) was formed and registered with the Kathmandu CDO Office in 1979 by a handful of trekking agents who realized that it was time to assemble and create an umbrella organization under which they could work together to meet their common goals and also assist the government by providing suggestions to develop trekking business into a revenue-generating industry. Such a body was necessary for many reasons. There was a need for a single organization, which could undertake the major responsibilities to develop and promoting adventure tourism in the country. The need for a responsible body, which could play a significant and conducive role to mitigate mountain environmental stress, was felt essential.
Grading:-The most commonly used grading system is the French adjectival system (IFAS). However, the NCCS system is also sometimes used. Ice pitches are most commonly graded with steepness, however, very steep routes are often graded with WI-grade or sometimes Scottish grade. Rock pitches have traditionally been graded with usage rock grade. However, depending on which system the first ascent party was most familiar with, yds or french rock grades may be used instead. Rock grade is accompanied by standard aid climbing grade whenever applicable.
Western Nepal:-Here Western Nepal covers all the western areas until Kali Gandaki river valley between Dhaulagiri Himal in the west and Annapurna Himal in the east. Western groups are the remotest and least part of the Nepalese Himalayas. Dhaulagiri is the only 8000m peak in the area and there are not many trekking peaks. Access is most commonly via Nepalgunj, from where further connection flight is needed to get to the starting points such as Jumla or Simikot. Easternmost areas could also be accessed from Pokhara.
Far West:-Nalakankar Himal Groups are located on Tibet/Nepal border. The closest city on the Nepal side is Simikot located in the valley between Nalakankar Himalaya in the north and Saipla group of Gurans Himal in the south. The highest peaks of the group are found in Gurla Mandhata massif, located entirely on the Tibetan side, not far from the holy mountain of Kailash.

West of Kaligandaki River
Dhaulagiri Himal extends 120km from Bheri (west) to Kaligandaki River (east). This massif is enclosed on the north and southwest by tributaries of the Bheri and the southeast by Myagdi Khola. It consists of two massifs: The western group and the Eastern group. The two are separated by Myagdi Khola and Hidden valleys which are connected by a French pass (5360m).
There are no NMA group A or B trekking peaks in Dhaulagiri Himal, so the number of climbers is very low. Trek from Muni through Myagdi Khola, French Pass, and Dhampuss Pass to Marpha in Kali Gandaki valley is the most important trekking route of Dhaulagiri Himal. It also provides access to Italian base Camp (Dhaulagiri West side) and Dhaulagiri BC (north and west sides) as well as several lower peaks.

Annapurna region is the most popular trekking and climbing area in Nepal, even more, popular than the Khumbu region. The area has two very popular treks: Annapurna Sanctuary trek and Annapurna Circuit, both of which are also important means of access to climbs both within Annapurna Sanctuary and on nearby Damodar Himal. Annapurna I is very famous but doesn't see hordes of climbers due to technical difficulties as well as significant objective hazards. Macchapucchare is probably the second most famous of the group. It is a sacred mountain and is not open to climbers. Those aside, several trekking peaks are accessible from Annapurna Sanctuary as well as from the neighboring valley to the east. Particularly Tharpu Chuli (Tent Peak) is popular. Additionally, Chulu Peaks and Pisang peak located on Damodar Himal is generally approached from Annapurna Circuit.
Because of the huge number of trekkers, there are several lodges and tea houses. Especially Annapurna Sanctuary with its stupendous South Face of Annapurna and picturesque Macchapucchare and Annapurna Circuit treks are very popular. Also, peaks located in nearby Ganesh (Damador Himal) can conveniently be combined with the very popular Annapurna circuit trek.
Classic expedition peaks of the area are Annapurna and Macchapucchare. Sanctuary is reached from Pokhara in 5 days trek (35km) following more or less Medi Khola river and valley leads to Annapurna Sanctuary. The main peaks forming the horseshoe are Annapurna South (7219m), Annapurna I (8091m), Annapurna III, and Macchapucchare (6993m). Most climbs start either from Macchapucchare base camp (3720m, 4 days from Pokhara) or Annapurna Base camp (4095m, 5 days from Pokhara).
The area also has several trekking peaks. Tharpu Chuli (Tent Peak, 5663m), Singu Chuli (Fluted Peak, 6501m), and Hiunchuli (6441m) are located in Annapurna Sanctuary. Mardi Himal (5587m) is located to the south of Macchapucchare (not climbed from Annapurna Sanctuary). Other popular peaks are located in Damador Himal along the Annapurna circuit trek, to the north of Annapurna Himal and Marsyandi river. Here lie trekking peaks Chulu West, Central, East and the Far East, and Pisang Peak.
The most common access to the area is from Kathmandu via Pokhara (827m), located about 200km west of Kathmandu. Pokhara can be reached from Kathmandu either by plane or by car/jeep/bus. March/April-May is the best timeframe for pre-monsoon climbing season. Post monsoon season running from September/ October to November is considered to be better though.
Phu Khola:-Phu Khola is a large valley system running north from Koto in Manyangdi Khola. There are several side valleys, particularly towards the west. The most important of these are Cchubche Khola North side of the Chulu group, Lapse Khola To tei La, and Jomson Peak. Phu Khola South side of the peaks located at the head of the valley system, on the Nepalese-Tibetan border: Saibung (6328m), Bhrikuti, Lagula, Chako (6704m)Unknown 1 Ratu Chuli, Phu Kang (6694), north side of Himlung Himal, Unknown 2 West sides of Himlung Himal, Himjust, Nemjung, Gyaji Kang (7074m)
Manyangdi Khola:-South-East to North-west direction between Annapurna Himal in the south and Chulu group (Damodar Himal) in the north. Thorong La at the head of the valley. Barrabes 26, 7 days from Besi Sabu. Koto - Tchame - Pisang - Hangde - Braga ... Thorong La
Kali Gandaki:-Kali Gandaki river valley runs in the north-south direction between Dhaulagiri in the west and the Annapurna area in the east. Lete - Tukuche - Marpha - Jomosom
Annapurna Sanctuary:-From Pokhara along Modi Khola. 5 days to Annapurna South base camp at 4100m. Macchapucchare base camp at 4115m, 1h less. Hinku Cave at 3000m, one day less than Annapurna BC.
Mardi Khola:-Macchapucchare South ridge is divided in two at Mardi Himal. between the branches lies Mardi Khola. Approach to Mardi Himal base camp follows the ridge forming the eastern bank of Mardi Khola to the campsite at 4100m south of the peak. Barrabes 25, 5 days from Pokhara.
Annapurna Himal:-Most climbing in Annapurna Himal takes place inside the sanctuary. It is a base for attempts on the gigantic south face of Annapurna I as well as for routes on trekking peaks Hiunchuli, Singu Chuli, and Tharpu Chuli. Of the trekking peaks, Tharpu Chuli (Tent Peak, 5663m) is the easiest (PD, 50 along the NW Ridge, AD along SE Ridge, both 2 days from base camp at 4200m). Singu Chuli (Fluted Peak, 6501m) and Hiunchuli (6441m) rank among the most difficult trekking peaks. Mardi Himal (5587m) is located to the south of Macchapucchare (not climbed from Annapurna Sanctuary). As the sanctuary offers a stunning view it is also very popular among the trekkers. Therefore both the approach trek as well as base camp sites within the sanctuary have several tea houses and lodges for accommodation. The approach from Pokhara takes about 5 days. Striking Machhapuchhare would be an obvious target for climbers, but it is off-limits as it is sacred to locals and has never been climbed.

Ganesh Himal
Located between Gurkha Himal in the West and Langtang in the east, separated from the latter by the Trisuli River. Trisuli river valley is used to access the eastern reaches of Ganesh. While Ganesh (7406m), Ganesh V (6950m), Pabil (7101m), and Lapsang Karbo (7150m) are far higher, probably the most popular climbing destination in the area is trekking peak Paldor (5928m, group B), located in SE end of Ganesh.
Eastern reaches of Ganesh are most readily accessed the same way as nearby Langtang valley, by taking a car via Dhunche to Syabru village (2200m, ~8h from Kathmandu, 6h hike from Dhunche). From there Paldor BC can be reached in 2-3 days by a trek up Chillame Khola, then crossing a pass to Mailung Khola to Sondoro and BC by Lai Mine at 4700m.
Pre-monsoon climbing season March-May and the post-monsoon climbing season is September - October-November.

Langtang valley is located to the east of Ganesh and the west of Rolwaling and Khumbu, directly to the north (30km) of Kathmandu. On the north side of Langtang valley rises Langtang Himal with Langtang II (6571m), Langtang Lirung (7205m, the highest peak accessible directly from Langtang valley), Yubra Himal (6035m) Tsanbu Ri (6760m), Yensa Tenji (6543m), Tsergo (5732m) and Tsergo Ri (4984m). In the west, at the end of Langtang valley, and on the southern side on valley rises Jugal Himal with Morimoto Peak (6750m), Bhemlang Karpu (5691m), Langshisa Ri (6151m), Gangchampo (Gang Chennpo, 6387m) and Naya Kanga (Gang-La Chuli, 5846m).
Jugal Himal also has plenty of high peaks that are not directly accessible from Langtang valley. They include Phola Gangchen (7661m), Porang Ri (7284m), Pungpa Ri (7443m), Dorhje Lakhpa (6966m) and Shisma Pangma (8048m). Jugal Himas reaches the Tibetan side which is called Baiku Himalaya, also Shisha Pangma is located in Tibet.
There are few alternative means to access Langtang valley from Kathmandu. The most convenient access is to take a car from Kathmandu via Trisuli river valley to Dhunche and further to Syabru village (2200m, ~8h from Kathmandu, 6h hike from Dhunche). From there 2 days trek along Langtang valley via Lama Hotel (2480m, 7h) to Langtang village (3480m, 6h) and further to Gyangjin Gompa with famous cheese factory and monastery (3870m, half a day from Langtang village). Another option is to trek through Helambu, then cross Ganja La Pass (5200m) close to Naya Kanga to access Langtang valley. There are several optional routes from Kathmandu through Helambu to Ganja La, usually taking between 5 and 7 days.
Most climbs are accessed from Kyangjin Gompa (~3870m). The upper reaches of Langtang valley and Jugal Himal are accessed from Langhisa Kharka (4164m, half a day from Gyangjin Gompa) further up in the valley. From there access to climbs on Gangchempo and Langshisa Ri is provided b Tilman's Pass (5320m), located to the south of Langtang glacier between Gangchempo and Urkgyebnmang.
Climbing in the Langtang area requires no special permits, but several park fees are required in addition to the peak fees. Most climbing takes place on trekking peaks of the area, especially Naya Kanga (5846m, group B) and Yala Peak (5732m, group A, formerly regularly climbed without a permit). Two new groups A trekking peaks Langshisa Ri (6427m, difficult involving steep ice (60)) and Yubra Himal (6035m) are found in the area. Tsergo Ri (5033m) is a popular acclimatization climb reached from Kyangjin Gompa (3900m, monastery, popular among the trekkers).
Langtang Lirung, the highest peak in the area, is an expedition peak and very difficult at that. The other expedition peak to see some climbing activity is picturesque Gangchempo, which has a beautiful ice face, somewhat reminiscent of Andean flutes, hence the peak is also known as "Fluted Peak".
Trisuli valley
Most convenient access to Langtang valley, as well as eastern Ganesh Himal ( Paldor), is through Trisula valley. First by car from Kathmandu via Trisuli river valley to Dhunche and further to Syabru village (2200m, 8h from Kathmandu, 6h hike from Dhunche).
Langtang valley:-From there 2 days trek along Langtang valley via Lama Hotel (2480m, 7h) to Langtang village (3480m, 6h) and further to Gyangjin Gompa with famous cheese factory and monastery (3870m, half a day from Langtang village).
Langtang valley consists of western Jugal Himal. Essentially it is formed by a ridge running generally south from Porong Ri, just to the west of Shisha Pangma. The ridge contains several high peaks including Godum (6447m) - Pethang Karpo - Gurkapo Ri - Leonpo Gang. The ridge runs further SE, but direct access from Langtang valley is cut by major side ridge SW from Leonpo Gang to Dorje Lakhpa. This is where Langtang Himal's southern chain connects to the Jugal group. Another, relatively short ridge thrusts into Langtang valley from Gurkapo Ri and contains the trekking peak Lansgshisa Ri. This Jugal ridge is continuously high with no easy pass to the eastern side, although Hagen's col between Porong Ri and Godum (6447m) has been crossed. From Kyangjin Gompa to Naya Kanga basecamp 1 day or half a day depending on whether the camp is placed just below Ganja la or further down.
The helambu:-Another option is to trek through Helambu, then cross Ganja La Pass (5200m) close to Naya Kanga to access Langtang valley. There are several optional routes from Kathmandu through Helambu to Ganja La, usually taking between 7 and 8 days.

Rolwaling Himal:-Located SW of Khumbu region, to the north of Rolwaling valley. The highest peaks of the group are Melungtse (7181m) and Gauri Sankar (7145m). Rolwaling also has trekking peaks, Kwangde, Parchamo, Chekigo and Ramdung.
Challenging Kwangde (6187m, group B) is located close to Nache Bazaar. Its north face (Hungo face) is very difficult though. Lumding valley in the easternmost part of Rolwaling is accessible from Dud Kosh valley (Lukla, 2800m) via Moro La (alternatively from Ringmo via Traksindu La). It is seldom visited by trekkers and provides access to Katy Olng (6511m), Khatang (6782m), Numbur (6957m), and the south side of Kwangde (6011m, group B).
Parchamo (6187m, group A, NW Ridge PD+) is located further to the west. Chekigo (6257, group A) is located still further to the west in the Gaurisankar range, close to the Chinese border. Its NW face is a reasonably difficult ice/snow climb at III D (200m of 45-55). Ramdung locates somewhat south of Chekigo is easier (NE Face PD, 2 high camps).

Sikkim lies sandwiched between Nepal in the west and Bhutan in the east, directly north of the Bay of Bengal. It was formerly independent but is a known part of India. The mountains of Sikkim are renowned for their poor weather, frequent snowfall, and general cloud cover. The considerable precipitation on these often steep-sided peaks produces spectacular flutings and corniced crests much more in keeping with Peruvian mountains than those of the Himalayas. The range is dominated by massive Kangchenjunga (8586m), the easternmost 8000m peak. Little is known about the area and access is complicated. However, there are several high peaks, including several unclimbed 7000m peaks. Darjeeling, lying some 70km south of Kangchenjunga is the most conveniently located starting point for climbs in Sikkim.
The area has only one trekking peak, Bokta (6143m, group A). It has been very rarely climbed (if ever) and it is one of the most difficult trekking peaks.
Arun valley runs in the North-South direction between Makalu & Kanchenjunga. The Guava Khola valley system is the largest valley to the west of the Kanchenjunga group. The valley has several side valleys in all directions. SW side of Kanchenjunga is approached from a different valley via Lapsang.

Save The Himalayas
Save The Himalayas is a progressive social organization that aims to develop modern libraries with computers in the remote schools of Nepal. The team believes that modernizing schools with technology will quickly create social awareness and development in the communities. The organization will also provide scholarships to bright students for higher international education. The organization has been conducting various social activities and cleaning campaigns around the Kathmandu valley throughout the year.
Furthermore, the illegal smuggling of rare herbs, animals, and minerals has also risked the national parks of Nepal. The recent road constructions that link to the China border have increased the risk of animal poaching and herbs smuggling. Save The Himalayas project will make efforts to stop such illegal activities by educating the local community about the value of their ecosystem.
