In 1978, 18 summits ranging between 5,587 and 6,654 meters were officially opened to climbers under the name of trekking peaks. Over the years, 15 more peaks were added, bringing the total to 33 trekking peaks up to 6500m in Nepal available for climbing. We prefer to call them Smaller Himalayan Peaks to avoid the misconception that they are easy climbs requiring only good fitness. While some peaks do offer relatively easy routes and have been ascended by climbers with limited experience, most still require significant climbing skills. Some routes are very challenging, akin to the major alpine north faces, but with the added difficulty of high altitude.

You can combine many peaks with trekking in Nepal, offering a diverse and challenging adventure. This approach allows you to experience both the thrill of high-altitude climbing and the beauty of trekking through Nepal’s stunning landscapes. If you seek an added challenge, consider incorporating one or more of the trekking peaks up to 6500m into your itinerary.
