The term is most often associated with NMA Climbing Peaks classified by the Nepal Mountaineering Association or easier. Some may use the term "Trekking Peak" to solely describe peaks requiring little to no technical climbing experience. Because of the term's loose classification of peaks it can be misleading, encompassing peaks of significant varying difficulties.
Nepal
About 30 peaks are classified as NMA Peaks by the Nepal Mountaineering Association. These peaks do not exceed in elevation and can be reasonably climbed from a base camp with the possible use of a high camp. To be climbed, these peaks typically require an amount of mountaineering experience and skills and the use of specialized mountaineering equipment, such as crampons and ice axes. Climbers are not required to obtain permits from or pay royalties to the Indian Mountaineering Foundation. However, some peaks are located near the military line of control, meaning close to borders of neighboring countries and permission and permits may be required from local civil or army authorities for security reasons. Also, some peaks may be out of reach for foreign climbers.
The Indian Mountaineering Foundation has designated 3 trekking peaks in the Indian Himalayan Region.
