HIMLUNG HIMAL EXPEDITION (7126m)

Duration 27 Days
Difficulty Level Medium
Includes Full Package Expeditions

Trip Introduction

The Himlung Himal 7126m rises to the north of the Annapurna massif (in the hidden valley of Naar Phu). This expedition is aimed at lovers of wild terrain and who wish to climb a first summit of 7000m in an exceptional environment!

Besides the high altitude mountaineering the region’s ancient architecture, ancient custom, culture, and biological diversity is sure to amaze anyone. The high peaks, isolated Phu village, narrow gullies, forests, springs, old monasteries, and unique ancient settlements are a stunning part of the journey to Base Camp. It is a beautiful course of alpinism from its Base Camp to the Summit.

The ascent of Himlung Himal is characterized above all by an exceptional stage. We have 15 days to climb from basecamp at 4825m to the 7126m high summit (a 2301m vertical height gain). This will need to be done in stages as we will need to firstly acclimatize ourselves to BC (phase one) then to about 6000m while climbing (phase two).

Once we have completed our acclimatization phases and rested for two days we should be ready to push through to the top in steady steps through our three camps above BC.

We establish our Base Camp at an altitude 4,850m on a grassy land. While our strong team of Sherpa staffs set up camps, expedition members have the chance to going up and down for acclimatization. Three higher camps will be set up above the Base Camp. Camp 1 at 5,450 meters. Camp 2 at 6150 meters. Camp 3 at 6375 meters. The last part of the summit involves steep and icy climb. Technically Mt. Himlung is not so difficult. After submitting, descend to Camp 3. The next day, descend to the Base Camp. For more detail about Himlung climbing and the route follow the link.
