Wikipedia contradicts itself:

At https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Nepal_Mountaineering_Association:

"The NMA is also responsible to issue climbing permits for 33 mountains with altitudes between 5,500 metres and 6,600 metres categorised as trekking peaks..."

...while at https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Trekking_peak, a "trekking peak" is reduced to a list of only 18 peaks.

OK, the former is correct. The latter isn't. There are 33 trekking peaks:

http://www.visitnepal.com/getaway/nepal_peaks_climbing/list_of_peaks.htm

The explanation is that https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Trekking_peak erroneously only list the 'Group "B" Trekking Peaks'. The remaining 15 peaks are 'Group "A" Trekking Peaks', and they are mising from https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Trekking_peak.

Please do fix this, whomever can handle edits in Wikipedia! (I cannot.)

The sources I see seem slightly contradictory on this point, and it is not clear to me what the distinction is between them, nor which article is accurate. It is clear that both our own source and that provided by the IP both list two kinds of peak. One describes both as trekking peaks, the other does not describe either set as trekking peaks. I am inclined to include the extra peaks, but for the fact that this article explicitly defines a "trekking peak" as a Group B peak that "is a mountain under 7,000 metres (22,970 ft) that is considered climbable by anyone with a moderate amount of mountaineering experience and skills". This is not a claim I want to make of these extra peaks without more experience or understanding than I have from the sources that I have seen. Kahastok talk 09:15, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
