Nun-Kun Massif dominates the skyline in the upper Suru valley and the twin peaks of Nun (7135m) and Kun (7077m) are the highest in the Zanskar range in Ladakh. The two peaks are separated by a snowy plateau of about 4km in length. Pinnacle Peak (6930m) is the third-highest mountain in this group. We aim to climb Kun, which was first climbed by Italian mountaineers Mario Piacenza, Lorenzo Borelli and Indian climber Ali Rahim in 1913. It was only after 58 years that the mountain was successfully climbed again by an Indian Army Expedition. We have designed the itinerary in a way that gives everyone the opportunity to acclimatize well and have the best opportunity to make the summit. With over a decade and a half of experience running tens of successful expeditions to both Nun and Kun, our team of skilled Mountain guides and Sherpas provide you the best support possible to safely make the summit and return home.

Show Detailed Itinerary

Day 01: Arrive Leh (3500m), transfer to the hotel

Take the early morning flight from New Delhi to Leh. It is a short flight of about 75 mins, but offers great views, as we fly over the Himalayan states of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. Overnight Hotel in Leh

Day 02: Rest & Acclimatise in Leh

We spend a day allowing our bodies to adapt to the high-altitude and soak in the local culture. There is plenty to keep you occupied. We visit some of the monasteries in and around Leh such as the Shey, Thiksey and Hemis. There is also the option of visiting the old Leh Palace and other places around the main market. Overnight Hotel

Day 03: Drive 1 hr to Matho & trek 1 hr Matho Doksa (3800m)

A 4 hour long but beautiful drive across the Khardungla, the highest motor-able pass leads us to Hundar, a small village in the heart of picturesque Nubra valley. Hundar offers a quiet and spectacular view of the Nubra valley and is the start of our Nubra Valley Trek. Now there is a road being constructed to Hundar Dok. We drive till Skarchen and then walk along the Hundar River on the side opposite to where the road work is going on. and walking on the road which is being paved beside the river. Hundar Dok is almost a hidden village and nobody would realize that such a big village could exist somewhere inside when you start trekking. The narrow Nubra gorge just opens up to this massive village with farmfields of barley, wheat and potatoes. There is a path that runs through the middle of the village dividing the village and the farmfields into 2 halves. Overnight Camp.

Day 04: Trek to Gangpoche (4200m)

Today we trek along the Thanglasgo river and pass through wide open valleys and meadows. We camp at the junction of Sniu and Thanlasgo Valley in a very pretty campsite. Overnight Camp.

Today we follow a small stream in the Thanglasgo valley we gradually climb up to the Thanglasgo, our destination for the day. Thanglasgo also serves as the grazing grounds for all the cattle(Yak, Sheep, Goat) from Hundar Dok and Wachan. There are 2 big Shepherd’s settlements here. We camp a little ahead of these settlements. Overnight Camp.

Day 06: Finish trek at Stok, drive to Leh (3500m)

The trail to Lasermo La base starts with following a small stream. The trail passes through large meadows gradually gaining altitude and is very well defined. There are a few lakes too which have been formed by the water draining from the glacier. Yaks and Dzos can be seen grazing around. On reaching the base camp of the Lasermo La we get spectacular views of the eternally snow bound Lasermo La pass. Overnight Camp.

Day 07: Drive Leh-Kargil (6-7hrs)

We make an early start so that we walk on had snow and try to cross the pass before the sun starts thawing it. As the sun warms up, the snow loosens and the horses sink in. Starting early morning we climb up gradually crossing the moraine and reach the snow line. From then on it is walking on snow till the top of the Lasermo La. The Pass offers a spectacular view of the Karakoram mountains and the Ladakh and Zanskar ranges. From the pass, we descend to the south base of the Lasermo La. Overnight Camp.

What to expect

A climbing expedition to a peak above 7000m is considered a very demanding climb. The peaks pose great physical and technical challenge due to altitude, terrain and the cold temperatures. A typical expedition to a 7000m peak will need 3 camps to be established above base camp. You will need to carry your personal gear upto the summit camp which goes through technical terrain, making it physically demanding. Altitude has a great effect on this trip so we give a lot of stress to acclimatizing well and take great care while planning our itineraries. 7000m peaks are an ideal step-up for anyone who has done demanding climbs and are trying to prepare for an 8000m expedition.

A fierce determination and a burning desire to climb the mountain are the essential pre-requisites for joining this expedition. One must have done a few high altitude treks and must have climbed some glaciated peaks above 6000m. One needs to be familiar with walking in snow and ice and must have a good standard of fitness. You should be familiar with Ice Axe arrest and crampon skills, the use of ascenders (jumar) and descenders, and how to use your particular harness.

You have full support till base camp which means you only carry a back pack till BC. We encourage climbers to carry a little more weight than just a back pack as it helps higher up on the climb but it is optional. Above base camp the sherpa team puts all the fixed ropes and hauls all the common gear - food, fuel, tents etc
All climbers are expected to carry all their personal gear with them - climbing eqpt/ clothing/ sleeping bag/ mattress etc. We also do a couple of load ferries on the way up. On the way down we normally bring it all in one go.

At high camps - Food & water is prepared by the guides & sherpa team. If someone wants to help with shoveling snow/ pitching tents etc he/ she is welcome but again it is optional.

Having very high fitness levels is essential and climbers would need to train considerably for these climbs. Besides being physically fit and having the climbing skills, you need to have the proper attitude and mental discipline. You will need to be willing to work hard day after day, with no comforts. You may need to dig deep into your reserves after a long day of climbing in bad weather to help set up camp, help a team member. organise your tent, change into dry clothes and be ready for another such day. We would be melting snow to make water at high camps (5-6 days) and will have simple food to survive on.

Apart from the mental strength having a positive attitude and the ability to get along well with strangers in stressful situations is very important. You would be sharing a lot of time with your tent partners especially if we are waiting out bad weather. Having good manners and hygiene would be important. Everyone must learn patience and relax! At high camps tou could be paired up with a person of a different gender and hence you could be required to give even more private time & space to your tent mate.

7-10 days on the mountain would be very demanding but high motivation can overcome most of the difficulties. Waiting out storms and bad weather is quite difficult, especially at high altitude. Everyone must learn patience and relax! Some weight loss is inevitable If you are not prepared, you may not be allowed to continue the climb.
