flag Climbers seek solitude on Nepal’s lesser-known peaks, boosting tourism and sustainable adventure.

flag Climbers are increasingly exploring Nepal’s lesser-known 6,000- and 7,000-meter peaks to avoid overcrowding on Everest and other 8,000-meter giants. flag Seeking solitude and uncharted challenges, adventurers from France, Japan, and Switzerland are using alpine-style techniques—minimal gear, no oxygen, no fixed ropes—on around 462 open peaks, including 100 never summited. flag Nepal has waived fees for 97 peaks and promoted new climbing areas to boost tourism in remote regions. flag Though access remains difficult due to remoteness and cost, the trend supports local economies and offers a more sustainable, authentic adventure.
