Nepal is one of the best adventure destinations in the world because of her rich biodiversity and unique landscape within a small area.

With eight out of 14 peaks above 8000m, Nepal's Himalayas stretches more than 800 kilometres. The mountain tourism in Nepal started to be promoted ever since the country opened its peaks to climbers in 1949. Out of more than 1300 peaks above 5000m, 263  peaks ranging from  6500m to Mt. Everest (8848m) have been  opened for climbing. The Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) has been entrusted with the responsibility of promoting and issuing permit for 33 peaks for alpine trekking. The Himalayas in Nepal have become an important attraction to many adventure lovers, philosophers and researchers.
