Peak climbing

The Himalaya is
called the “roof of the world” or the “third polar
region”. In the Sanskrit language it means the
“dwelling of snow”. It is a mountain range of
tremendous size. Generally speaking, it stretches
from the east to the west for about 2,400 km or from
the big bend of the Brahmaputra River to the Indus
River, and from the north to the south for 200-300
km or from the line connecting the upper reaches of
the Indus and the Brahmaputra to where the Churia
Ranges in the Ganges Plain.
The core of
this great mountain range is the Nepal Himalaya. It
stretches about 800 km east and 150-200 km north to
south and has eight peaks of 8,000 meters or more,
including Mount Everest, the highest peak in the
world.
Mountaineering
in Nepal Himalaya began in 1950, when Nepal opened
its borders. First, the climbers competed to achieve
the first ascents of great peaks and then moved on
to challenge variation climbs of difficult grades.
Now, they live in the day of no-oxygen climbs and
winter climbs.
Known as the Himalayan Kingdom, Nepal has 1310
mountains (the major portion of the Mountain range.)
which are over 5500 meters (18,090 ft) to 8848m
(29,028ft) above sea level. This makes our country
exceptionally popular for mountaineers.
Nepal has been the focus of outstanding achievements
in the world of peak climbing expeditions, with its
eight peaks above 8000 meters. It has challenged the
minds and bodies of those who have dared for
decades. Among the identified 1310 peaks above 6000
meter, one quarter are officially opened for
mountaineering activities, including the 'trekking
peaks'. Climbing these peaks is the next step beyond
'simply' trekking, before scaling the 8000-meter
peaks.
