Expedition in Nepal >> Mt. Himlung Expedition

The Himlung Himal is situated in the Manaslu region, which is considered one of the remote corner of Nepal and Tibet boarder. This mountain has been becoming popular day by day to the climbers on these present days.Himlung does not present many technical difficulties as it is not a steep mountain, however any ascent to such a high elevation presents its own challenges and is therefore a significant achievement. The lessons gleaned from an ascent of this mountain will really add to any climber's knowledge and experience of big mountain climbing.

This is the country beyond, a wild and extremely beautiful mountain landscape full of erotic people, rapid rivers and pristine forest. This area is a very remote area with Virgin Nature, off beaten path, Mysterious culture and panoramic Mountain View of Nandadevi, Rajramba, Api Himal, KappaChuli Peak and many more. There is also a lake called kalidhunga, which is about 2 hrs by walking from base camp. This is one of the holy lakes of this area. Deep in the heart of the Himalayas , nestled between the sweltering Indian subcontinent and the frozen plains of the Tibetan plateau, Humla lays hidden in the far northwest corner of Nepal . Shadows of the towering Saipal range and sacred Takh and Changla Himals loom over this barren forgotten basin of the mighty Karnali River. It is an area of extreme geographical conditions with the elevation fluctuating between 1524, 7337m, and an approximate population of 45,000. The natives still speak an archaic dialect of Tibetan and Nepali languages. Summer in Humla is pleasant while the winner is harsh and cold, leaving the region isolated and mostly snowbound. The Base Camp is situated at an altitude +4,850m. Himlung Himal isn't of particularly difficult it is a very beautiful course of alpinism in altitude from its Base Camp to the summit. The route to Phu Gaon from Manang is newly opened and fewer tourists have visited, so far. These routes are combined with high peaks and passes, glaciers, remote villages, narrow gullies, lovely forests, amazing rock and spring formations, Gompas and unique varied cultures.
