Nepal has divided the peaks open to ascents by foreigners into two categories:

Mountaineering peaks and Trekking peaks. Mountaineering Peaks are of height over 6500m, they require a relatively large sum of funds for a permit fee, Liaison Officer etc.

Trekking Peaks are below 6,500 m in height and can be booked through a registered trekking agency. The cost of booking fee etc. is comparatively very less. In fact these are not the peaks really you can trek over, but provide large number of trekking routes through their slopes.
