Unique Sherpa Trek & Expeditions runs and organizes Mt. Himlung Expeditions with proper and stunning planning and with skilled logistical support, wherever full tenting arrangements are needed on this glorious trek and climb of Mt. Himlung. Himlung Himal Expedition is located in the Manaslu Region, one of the most beautiful regions for trekkers in Nepal.
The region sees hardly a thousand travelers each year. As a result, the region is untouched by modernization. So for everyone seeking a truly remote, wilderness state, there’s no place better than this region.
In one of the quaint corners of this region is the Himlung Himal, whose expedition is a delightful prospect. Himlung Mountain is northeast of the Annapurna range. It lies quite close to Tibet. With an altitude of 7,120m. It is a mouth-watering mountain to climb for all expeditionists.
It is a mountain that has a high success rate for ascent, considering its technicalities. A Japanese team was the first to complete this expedition in 1992. Since then, there have been a few more splendid attempts and success stories.
One of the most challenging days of the expedition is the ascent from the Himlung Base Camp (4850 meters) to the Himlung Himal (7120 meters). So you will gain an altitude of more than 2300 meters doing so. The ascent to Himlung Himal and its descent to the Himlung Base Camp will take 11 days in total.
Himlung Expedition leads you into complete wilderness within rugged terrain and jagged mountains of Northern Annapurna-Damodar, and also close to the Manang range of 7000 mountain peaks. Among the 7,000 mountain peaks, Himlung has a high success rate until now, with climbers ascending to the top.
Mt. Himlung stands proudly at 7,120 meters and 23, 380 fit high, in remote and isolated areas of Nepal’s North-West Himalaya between the peaks of Damodar and Manaslu mountains. A well-hidden peak is usually explored and visited in the region on the far side of Nar and Phu villages, and far away from the main trekking path of the well-liked Annapurna Circuit route of the gorgeous Manang region.
Mt. Himlung is situated on the far side, northeast of the Nar and Phu areas; wherever our trek leads, with a night long in the lodge around the main Annapurna Circuit path up to Koto near the oversized city of Chame on route to the main areas of Manang district.
After Koto, on the hidden trails, gorge, and the windswept valley towards Phu villages, the higher main village of Nar & Phu area is embedded inside the big peaks of Chulus-Pisang–Damodar Himal and next to the Larke Pass of Manaslu area.
Our climb is undertaken after many practice and acclimatization days at Phu and base camp. And then proceeding for the climb to the summit on a clear, fine morning, after setting up two more camps from base camp onward within ten days to reach the summit on time, as weather permits.
This is one of the most technically challenging mountains to climb among other 7,000-meter peaks. However, with a perfect team of guides and staff, and with your positive attitude and determination. We’ll lead you to the summit with a high chance of success and safely back to Kathmandu on a wide-ranging life journey on the Himlung Expedition.
