Himlung Expedition (7126m) only opened for mountaineers in 1992, Mount Himlung has been luring a lot of mountaineers recently. Since its early permit, only three expeditions have ascended the Himlung so far. Located between Manaslu and Annapurna ranges, the expedition to Mount Himlung takes you through remote corner of Nepal and Tibet border. Walking through the interesting Tibetan villages of Nar and Phu, the base camp is set up at 4900 meters. Normally, only three camps are settled to reach the summit; Camp I at 5450 m, Camp II at 6000 m and Camp III at 6350 m.

However, before setting you up for an expedition to Mount Himlung, it’s important for us to gain a full understanding of your body's response to altitude and help you gain experience with Himalayan conditions. That’s why we highly recommend you to join our preparatory programs of mountaineering, which is conducted in other mountains a bit easier to attempt.

If you have any confusion or questions on the expedition, then please feel free to contact us for more details. Our team of mountaineering experts will try the level best to discuss your queries.
