Peak Open for Mountaineering

Mountains are part of natural resource and most countries, even those wealthy with mineral resources derive fees and income from permits to climb special mountains like Denali in the USA or Aconcagua in Argentina. For Nepalese government fees are an important part of export income.
The government of Nepal has developed new policies regulating climbing and mountaineering within Nepal. At the same time new peaks were open to climbing. There are currently 326 peaks open for climbing including 20 royalty free peaks. Climbing peaks have been divided in 3 categories: A, B and C.
