Overview

Himlung Himal (7,126 meters) is a stunning peak located in the Peri Himal range of the Nepalese Himalayas, close to the Tibetan border. Known for its breathtaking views and accessible routes, it is a popular destination for climbers seeking a less-crowded yet challenging expedition. The journey to Himlung takes adventurers through the remote Nar-Phu Valley, rich in Tibetan culture and pristine landscapes. 

 

With moderate technical difficulty, Himlung Himal is ideal for experienced trekkers and climbers looking to transition to higher-altitude mountaineering. The ascent offers incredible vistas of neighboring peaks, including Annapurna and Manaslu. The best seasons for climbing Himlung are spring and autumn, ensuring stable weather and optimal conditions. 

 

This expedition promises an unforgettable blend of cultural immersion, physical challenge, and high-altitude adventure.
