It is a wide-accepted fact that an astonishingly major share of The Himalayas lies in our country, with numerous breathtaking ranges and peaks scattered throughout. One such peak is Mt Nun, the highest peak in the Zanskar Valley of Ladakh. The taller pinnacle of the great Nun Kun massif is notoriously difficult to climb due to its crevasses, constantly changing terrain, elaborate glacial formations, high-gradient ice walls, technical sections, sharp ridges, unpredictable weather, high altitude, and strong winds, making it more challenging than most of the 7,000-meter peaks.

Trek to the base camp of Mt. Nun takes place in a pristine environment of glaciers, snowfields, and alpine meadows, offering stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. The region around Mt. Nun is also inhabited by the indigenous people of Ladakh, who have a rich cultural heritage and a unique way of life. However, the scenery, difficulty, and style of ascent change once we trek past the base camp.

Mt Nun is a technically challenging peak with steep faces, exposed sections, and varying snow and ice conditions. An expedition to Mt Nun is only suitable for experienced mountaineers who have already climbed peaks higher than 6500 meters and possess apt technical mountaineering skills, including the use of ice axes, roping up procedures, crampons, and jumar climbing. The trail to the summit of Mt. Nun involves a mix of rock, snow, and ice climbing, and the ascent is usually done in multiple stages with several high-altitude camps.

Despite the difficulties, climbing Mt Nun provides a great sense of accomplishment and brings mountaineers one step closer to achieving their expedition goals of tackling even higher and more challenging peaks. A long but wholesome journey to the top of Mt Nun and back will leave you with memories of a lifetime & skills to trust for your future expeditions.

• Have Previous High altitude Trekking/Mountaineering Experience.
• Weight training the body. Walk uphill or downstairs steps with a weighted backpack.
