Discover the journey
Mt. Himlung at 7126 , lies in the northeast of the Annapurna range, in Nepal. It was first climbed in 1992 by Japanese expedition. Himlung is not a very technically difficult mountain but due to the shadow of its own, the thick snowfield & extreme coldness, it is not easy as it is expected. The route passes through high peaks and passes, glaciers, remote villages, narrow gullies, forests, rocks, Gompas & unique cultural settlements. Himlung is a perfect peak for someone with basic mountaineering experience and who is eager to try a high altitude mountain expedition in Nepal. For climbing this peak, three higher camps are established above the Base Camp (4900 m). Camp I at 5450 m, Camp II at 6000 m & Camp III at 6350 m.
