The government of Nepal has decided to waive off climbing permit fee for mountain peaks in mid and far western regions for five more years effective from July 16. “It decided to extend royalty waiver after witnessing significant rise in trekking and mountaineering activities in mid and far western region over the past five years”, states the notification letter sent by Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation to Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN) and Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). Earlier, the government had waived off climbing permit fee for mountain peaks in mid and far western region for five years starting July, 2008.

MakaluTrekking Agencies had been lobbying with MoCTCA for extension of royalty waiver arguing that trekking and mountaineering activities in mid and far western region was increasing gradually. Some unclimbed peaks of the region are:
