Expedition to Himlung Himal

Himlung Himal is one of the infrequently visited mountains of Nepal lying between the border of Nepal and Tibet in north of the Annapurna and Manaslu majestically situated above the Tibetan village of Phu in the western region of Nepal.  The ascent to its peak is technically less difficult than most. This is a superb ascent for people looking to push their altitude experience to a new level or for those who simply want to climb an ‘achievable’ 7000m Himalayan giant.

Previously a restricted region, Nepal Government opened the region only in 1992 by and so far only a few expedition teams including Japanese and French have summitted Mount Himlung. A rather barren landscape, strongly influenced by the Tibetan Khampa people, has a lot to offer culturally. Because of the very few tourists who have visited here, apart from the rare expedition groups, the overall experience is entirely fulfilling as this trek would give you a great opportunity to explore an almost untouched and unadulterated region of the country.

Expedition for Himlung Himal follows Round Annapurna route to Koto and from Koto towards Nar-Phu Gaon. The route passes through high peaks and passes, glaciers, remote villages, narrow gullies, forests, rocks, springs, Gompas and unique cultural settlements. The expedition also offers mysterious culture and panoramic mountain views of Nandadevi, Rajramba, Api Himal, Kappa Chuli Peak and many more. Base camp will be established at the height of 4900m; which is located at the upper border of one of pastures near Phu. Normally three high camps will be established to reach the Summit. Camp I at the height of 5450m, Camp II at 6000m and Camp III at 6350m.
