Further Information
Himlung Himal was only opened for climbing in 1992, and it remains one of the most rewarding peaks in the Peri Himal range. The approach trek through the “Lost Valley” of Nar and Phu is a journey back in time, featuring Tibetan-style stone houses and ancient monasteries.
Our expedition utilizes three high camps (C1: 5,430m, C2: 6,000m, C3: 6,350m) to ensure a steady ascent. With Nepal Skyline Adventures, you benefit from our heritage of excellence. We provide premium North Face or Red Fox tents, high-quality nutrition designed for altitude, and a Sherpa-to-Client ratio that guarantees personalized attention during the summit push.
