With eight of the highest peaks in the world ,including Mt.Everest ,it is hardly surprising that Nepal has been the stage for some of the most outstanding achievements in the world of mountaineering .The dauntless icy peaks have since decades challenged the bodies and spirits of the daring ones .All inquiries and arrangements for expenditioin have to be made well in advance at the ministry of tourism and civil aviation.Climbing gears can be brought or rented in Kathmandu and
Pokhara .Many of the mountaineering and trekking companies also offer packages ,where they provide gear,food,transportation,guides,porter services ans also arrange for insurance coverage,Orientation on altitude sickness,acclimatization sickness and safety measures is a must for every mountaineer.The fatal sickness ,also known as Acute Mountain Sickness((AMS) can be dangerous for climbers ascending 3000 meters and above.Symptoms include headache,loss of appetite and sleeplessness.Immediate descent or evacuation to lower altitude is the best cure for AMS.
