Trekking or Climbing

In the Himalayas, a trekking peak is a mountain under 7,000 meters (22,965 ft) that is considered climbable by anyone with a moderate amount of mountaineering experience and skills. While some can be climbed without crampons or an ice axe, most require the use of this equipment. In order to attempt a trekking peak, a climbing permit (non-refundable) must be obtained from the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) in Kathmandu.

Peaks above 7,000 m are categorized as expedition peaks and demand much higher permit fees.
