Himlung Himal

It’s hard to believe but this beautiful mountain was first climbed in 1992. This is partly due to the fact that this region, which borders with Tibet, has not been easily accessible for tourists. The road to the mountain is a journey of contrasts. The first few days along the perfectly developed Annapurna Trek are dotted with Internet cafes, shops and all sorts of amenities that trekking tourists have apparently created a demand for during the last decade.

And then you turn into a different, calmer world. A rather barren landscape, strongly influenced by the Tibetan Khampa people, which also has a lot to offer culturally. This is primarily because of the very few tourists who have visited here, apart from the rare expedition groups. This is precisely why the expedition to Himlung Himal is so appealing, because the overall experience is entirely fulfilling.

The mountain itself… is simply beautiful, with its equally noble and graceful summit shape. A mountain which you can spend hours watching. Technically it does not demand too much. One can fully focus on the altitude, the rhythm and the view. And along the way you will pass the magical “seven thousand mark” almost without noticing.

But beware, after this expedition, you will want more…Technically simple, objectively safe and an ideal preparation for the first eight thousander!
