A trekking peak is a mountain of the Nepal less than 7,000 meters high which is considered scalable by anyone with a minimum of preparation and experience in the mountains. The mountains have been classified into various categories by the "Nepal Mountaineering Association" (NMA). While some can be climbed without the aid of crampons and ice axes, most require this equipment. To attempt a trekking peak you need a spade issued by the NMA in Kathmandu a permit (non-refundable). Mountains over 7,000 meters high are regarded as expedition peaks and require higher rates to obtain permits.
