Nanga Parbat (8,126m known as “Naked Mountain” in Urdu is the 9th highest mountain in the world situated in the western corner of the Himalayan range and in the Diamir District of northern Pakistan. The name, naked mountain originated as the mountain is not completely covered by the snow due to its steep sides. Although profoundly known for its prone to avalanches and extreme weather conditions, Mt Nanga Parbat is also truly an awesome spectacle, intimidating the climbers with its previous history of submitters and its structure. Nonetheless, this challenging factor also inspires passionate climbers to make an attempt. Hence, it is important for climbers to have high mountaineering skills and well determined to accept the challenges. Our Churen Himal team provides you with tailored expedition and give you the best platform to carry out your objective. We will professionally organise your expedition and provide you with the best possible chance of standing at the summit of this beautiful mountain.
