Mountaineering In Nepal |
 |
|
The Kingdom of
Nepal is blessed with the most
awe inspiring gift of nature
anywhere in the world. It is
home to the mighty Himalayas,
which means abode of snows in
Sanskrit. These mountains are
the root of thousands of years
of Nepali culture. They
intimidate us with their
overwhelming size and humble us
with their apparent immortality.
They |
 |
|
are home to 8
of the 10 highest mountains in
the world including the highest
of them all Mt. Everest. Mt.
Everest (Sagarmatha as the
Nepalese call it) rises to the
top of the Himalayas at 29,028
ft. It truly is an honour to sit
beneath such a natural
spectacle.
The first real tourists to Nepal
where the Mountaineers that
where attracted by the peaks of
the Himalaya. International
attention was drawn to these
mountains in 1953 when New
Zealander Edmund Hillary and
Nepali Norgay Tensing became the
first people ever to reach the
peak of Mt. Everest. The highest
mountain in the world had been
conquered and Nepal would never
be the same. Mountaineering has
always been a mysterious
activity to those looking in
from the outside.
Many people wonder why a person
would risk their safety and push
their physical and mental
strength just to get to the top
of a mountain. But it is so much
more than just reaching the
peak. Its true satisfaction
comes from the entire journey
itself. The mountain always sits
on the horizon during your
approach to the climb and fills
your mind with wonder and
excitement. The realisation that
you might be on the top of that
mountain lingers in your head.
Such things as setting up base
camp and analysing maps make
your climb a reality. Long days
of climbing lead to short nights
of rest. And soon the peak is
before you and you see the world
from a different point of view.
The rest at the top offers you a
little time to appreciate the
struggles of the climb and to
prepare for the other half of
your journey , the climb down.
Of course not all climbing
attempts are successful and
mother nature is never
predictable. But any experience
on such great mountains as the
Himalayas gives you awareness
and insight about your true
strength.
Classic Asia Travels & Tours
wants to provide you with the
first hand experience of
climbing a beautiful peak in
Nepal. The largest mountains in
Nepal draw professional climbers
around the world but many
smaller peaks ( by Nepali
standards) are available to
climb. They are mainly
non-technical climbs at high
elevation that give you a true
mountaineering experience.
Classic Asia Travels & Tours has
experienced climbing guides that
have climbed and guided these
peaks many times. Safety is
always are number 1
consideration with any climb or
trek. A minimum of 4 people is
needed in order to climb a peak.
We can accommodate everything
from the climb itself to the
trek to the mountain and any
airline flights needed for the
trip. We can even provide
accommodation and transportation
in Kathmandu. |
