Nepal Mountaineering Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) is the national mountaineering association of Nepal. The NMA was founded in 1973 with the goals of promoting mountaineering activities in the Himalaya, providing safety awareness and mountaineering skills to Nepalese mountaineers and creating awareness of the beauty of the Himalayas both nationally and in international communities. The NMA is an active member of the UIAA.
The NMA is also responsible for responding to requests for climbing permits not only for the major peaks such as Mount Everest or Lhotse but also for the trekking peaks.
