A good choice would be to try climbing one of the 18 trekking peaks listed under Group B of NMA (Nepal Mountaineering Association) Trekking Peaks.

The climbing fees for these 18 trekking peaks vary depending on the size of the group involved. If your team has one to four people, you pay US$350; if it’s five to eight people, you pay US$350 plus; and if it’s nine to twelve people, the fee is US$510 plus. Additional people in the two latter groups have to pay US$40 per person and US$25 per person, respectively. In any case, you can’t have more than 12 people in a group at any one time.
