An overview of climbing 6000-meter peaks in Nepal in the spring for novices and intermediates. Many adventurous people dream of scaling the Nepalese Himalayas. These summits, which may be as high as 8,000 meters, are difficult to climb and need careful planning and preparation. But for novices and experts, scaling summits of about 6,000 meters may be a fulfilling experience, particularly in Nepal’s springtime.

Since the weather is pleasant and the snow is hard enough for climbing, March through May and mid-October through mid-December are the ideal times to climb these peaks. Clear vistas and amiable hikers may be found throughout the paths during this time.
