Peak Climbing FAQs

Common questions about climbing peaks in Nepal.

Do I need a climbing permit for trekking peaks?
Yes. Trekking peaks require a permit from the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). Permit fees vary by peak and season — spring/autumn permits cost more than off-season. We handle all permit paperwork and fees as part of your package.
What prior climbing experience do I need?
For easier peaks like Yala Peak, no prior climbing experience is necessary — just strong trekking fitness. For moderate peaks like Island Peak and Mera Peak, basic crampon and ice axe skills are helpful but we provide training. For hard peaks like Lobuche East, previous high-altitude trekking experience above 5,000m is strongly recommended.
When is the best season for peak climbing?
Spring (April-May) and Autumn (October-November) are the primary climbing seasons with the most stable weather. Spring offers warmer temperatures and longer days, while autumn provides the clearest skies. Some easier peaks like Yala are also climbable in early winter.
Can I climb solo or do I need to join a group?
All climbers need a licensed guide and NMA permit — solo unsupported climbing is not allowed on NMA peaks. You can book a private expedition (just you and your guide team) or join a scheduled group departure. Private expeditions offer more flexibility; group trips are more cost-effective.
Is helicopter rescue insurance mandatory?
Yes, comprehensive travel insurance covering helicopter evacuation up to at least 7,000m is mandatory for all our peak climbing expeditions. The policy must also cover mountaineering activities specifically — standard travel insurance is not sufficient. We can recommend providers.
