MOUNTAINEERING EXPEDITIONS IN NEPAL: |
Mountaineering Expedition' means an act of expedition
to any peaks of mountain range with the intention of reaching
to the summit. The mountaineering sports became popular
all over the world when Sir Ed. Hillary and Tenzing Norgay
scaled the Mt. Everest in May 1953. The adventure and
challenge brought-forward by mountaineering sports are
still on, and we find "Enthusiastic Mountaineers'
Flocks" increasing every year. The government of
Nepal has opened many peaks for mountaineering expedition.
Some of them mentioned below are suggested to the potential
contestants.
