The Himalayan range of Nepal is important not only for summiting record holders but, with its innumerable mysteries, also for the geologists, environmentalists and sociologists. The Inter­national Mountain Museum in Pokhara, the one and only mountain museum in the world, strives to maintain systematic records of around 8,000 climbers till date who have scaled one or the other of the eight peaks above 8,000 meter that fall inside Nepal. The museum also records flora, fauna and human activities in the Hima­layas. The unique shape of the museum roof resembles a mountain skyline. This museum is a must-see for anyone interested in the Himalayas and mountaineering. If you are interested, there is a wall-climbing facility inside the museum premise.
