| The
Nepal Himalaya offer a wide variety of different
types of mountain to climb, from ‘trekking’
peaks; some of which are little more than snow
hills requiring little or no technical mountaineering
experience, to the Himalayan 8000m giants.
We offer a large range of services
to our clients, in fact everything from a single
client wishing to climb a trekking peak, to fully
supported mountaineering expeditions. You just
pick your mountain and we take care of the rest.
For beginners, we run a training
school, where we teach you the mountaineering
techniques you require to reach the summit of
a Himalayan mountain. We normally run this school
on the Khumbu Glacier, and the course culminates
with a summit bid on the trekking peak, Lobuje
East (6119m\ 20,075ft). However, we are quite
flexible with this so should you wish to climb
a different mountain, this can also be arranged.
