All of us want to take the plunge but not many of us do. We all want to visit and explore nature’s finest locations, but stop short at different points. It may be the financial capacity required or a tight schedule at work, but one thing is for sure – we all wish we could embrace the amazing gift of nature at Nepal. The country boasts of the tallest peaks in the world and trekking in those mountains are bound to give you a high like you have never experienced before.

The whole experience of peak climbing is frankly unbelievable as it covers many varieties of trekking experiences. You obviously have the amazing option of trekking along the mountain range that leads up to the Mount Everest trail. The area called Lukla has plenty of lodges and has many trekkers visiting the place around the year. You can easily get places for rent here for a few days via a travel agency so that you can trek around the mountains in peace. Make sure you go for a walk within these splendid forests that will probably give you the best possible scenery on earth.

Quite near Lukla, you would find a place called Gondishung. This area is quite famous for summer camps and is normally quite habituated. Because Everest trekking is so popular here, you have a lot of people forming groups and staying together. It would be a good idea to go in groups as you would not be familiar with the surroundings or the routes. A few simple tips when you go peak climbing in Nepal are below:

1.       Tie a harness: Make sure you tie a harness at all points of time. This should be maintained if you are in a group or even if you are moving away from the group. This will help you link back to the team at any point of time and keep you connected. Similarly when you are climbing the mountain, you must have a harness to help you climb or come down in a steady fashion.

2.       Always wear a helmet: No matter who you are or what you do, peak climbing in Nepal is very risky. You need to always wear a helmet that is firmly fastened.

3.       Check knots: When you are climbing the mountain, you would have knots across the rope. Make sure the knots are firm from the start to the end and that it is not loose at any point of the rope.

4.       Climb with the rope over your leg: This is an absolute must. When you are Everest trekking, make sure the rope is over your leg than in between. If you are to fall, the rope would make you flip upside down onto the wall.

5.       Listen to the leader: It is extremely important to listen to the leader of the trek at all points of time. Make mental notes of distance and directions so you are able to plan a swift return.
