This conglomeration of beautiful and rugged mountain peaks has drawn the attention of mountain trekkers and climbers from all over the world. Many come here to climb the mountains and at the same time test their skills in mountaineering, their mental and physical strength and their endurance. Others are drawn to the mountains of Nepal for more spiritual reasons. Whatever be the case, travelers from any country can enjoy Nepal's mountains – even if you only see them from a distance.
