Himlung Himal, located at 7126 m near the Tibetan border in Nepal, is a remote and untouched mountain range in Nepal. It follows the Annapurna route to Koto and Nar-Phu Gaon, offering stunning scenery, pristine land, and fascinating culture. The region's inhabitants, who reach up to Tibet's border, retain traditional Tibetan culture and religious beliefs. Few tourists visit the remote area, making it an ideal destination for those with basic mountaineering experience. Himlung Himal is also known for its challenging climbing routes, which attract experienced mountaineers from around the world. Despite its remote location, the region has a few basic teahouses and campsites, providing essential facilities for trekkers and climbers.
Himlung Himal, a majestic peak in western Nepal, is a less frequently climbed mountain offering a unique and rewarding experience. It is located at an elevation of 7,126 meters (23,380 feet) and is best climbed during the spring and autumn seasons. Himlung Himal requires high mountaineering skill, experience, and proper logistics, such as permits and logistics. Physical fitness and training are essential, with cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and endurance activities being crucial. Safety and risks are inherent, and climbers should be prepared to make well-informed decisions. Guided expeditions led by experienced mountaineers and reputable companies can increase the chances of reaching the summit safely. Climbers should adhere to the principles of "Leave No Trace" to minimize their impact on the environment and respect local culture. In addition, climbers should also ensure they have the necessary equipment and gear, such as proper footwear, harnesses, and helmets, to ensure their safety during the climb. It is also important for climbers to regularly assess their physical condition and consult with a healthcare professional before attempting any challenging climbs.
Our representative will meet you at Tribhuvan International Airport on your arrival schedule. You will be greeted and then transferred to the hotel in the heart of Kathmandu city. Our staff will help you until the check-in procedure ends at the Hotel. You can either have a rest at the Hotel or visit our office for collecting additional information about the trip.
This is a day to check your gear with your guides. If needed, there’s time to buy extra gear from local suppliers in Thamel. Once the gear check is complete, you can sightsee for the rest of the day. Don’t miss some of Kathmandu's world heritage sites (e.g. Boudhnath, Kathmandu Dubar Square, and Patan Pashupatinath temple). Kathmandu is a hectic city full of culture and historic Places.
We leave Kathmandu early and drive first to Besisahar. After lunch, change to a four-wheel drive vehicle for the rugged journey to Koto. The road can be almost as challenging for passengers as for drivers, but it is incredibly scenic! It travels along the old Annapurna Circuit trek route, through amazing gorges and past stunning waterfalls. Arrive in Koto in time for dinner.
We start our trek early, as there is a lot of distance to cover. Cross the river and enter the Nar & Phu valleys. Towns on the nearby Annapurna Circuit are relatively well-developed, but this is not the case in these valleys. Today's trekking route passes through beautiful woods, past small cave shelters and pilgrim's resting places. Emerging from a narrow canyon, the trail passes under a wide waterfall, from which point the woods become thinner and the vistas wider. The last stretch into Meta involves climbing a steep hill, from which there are amazing views of some of the giant snowy peaks in the area.
Today we trek to the village of Kyang, which is also the extensive winter settlement of Phu, on a plateau high above the river.
Today's hike will be the hike to remember because we will get to see some of the unique, colorful chortens which Nar and Phu are justly famous for. We walk through scenic canyonlands and gorges, and the "leaning tower of Pisa" monolith guards the steep trail up to the Phu gate, called Pupigyal Kwe. This ancient gate provides us with our first view of the three villages of Phu.
We hike towards the east through a glacial valley leading to Himlung Himal base camp. A great place for camping and setting our base camp with amazing mountain views.
In this 14-day climbing period, we will do one rotation climb up to Camp III before pushing for our summit of Himlung Himal. Prioritizing health and safety, with proper acclimatization and planning, we will successfully summit the Himlung Himal.
We retrace our way back to beautiful Phu village after managing all the garbage we made during the expedition. We will have the experience of climbing a 7000m mountain and all the adventures throughout the climb to remember for our life.
We follow the same trail to get back to Meta.
The trek to Koto will be our last trekking day for this Himlung Expedition. A small celebration awaits at Koto.
We have our breakfast in Koto and then a private vehicle will take us to Besisahar.
After breakfast in Besisahar, we will drive back to Kathmandu, which is a roughly 6 -7-hour drive depending on the road and traffic conditions on the main highway. On arrival in Kathmandu, we will transfer you to your hotel where you will rest for the evening.
Today is free time for souvenir shopping and other independent activities. A massage is highly recommended to relax your tired muscles before your long-haul flight home. At night you can prepare for departure, packing, and returning gear.
Our Airport Representative will drop you at the International Airport as per your flight schedule.
