The duration of the trek is about 27 days. The peak is higher than the surrounding mountain ranges. The way up the peak is easier than the other mountains and once you are on the top you would be stuck with wonder as you see the mountain ranges and the beautiful green valley lying beneath. Best time to visit: June to September. This trek gives you an opportunity to experience the beauty of the Himalayas with astonishing Nature. One can see the vivid culture of North India and is a full fun and adventure package. This tour is being crafted in such a way that a traveler should experience the legacy of cultural richness and the scenic beauty of the Himalayas in India so that his travelling to India should not only be a journey for him but an experience in itself.
Tour Highlights:
Arrival at Delhi International Airport at 09:00 the following morning. Local time in Delhi is 5.5 hours ahead from GMT, but hopefully we will have been able to sleep on the flight. Meet our representative at the airport and drive to the hotel, which is very conveniently placed for sightseeing in the city. In the afternoon, we must visit the Indian Mountaineering Federation (IMF) to obtain our climbing permit.
We make an early start to take the flight to Leh, the capital city of Ladakh. The flight takes us over the Greater Himalaya and makes an exciting landing at one of the highest airports in the world. We can hope to get excellent views of the Zanskar Range as we fly-in and, on a clear day, the great peaks of the Karakoram are visible to the north. We are met at the airport and taken to the hotel. The rest of the day is at leisure. Leh is at an altitude of nearly 3,510 m, and you can expect to feel the effects of the rarefied atmosphere.
Today you will be on your own to relax and stroll around Leh, to allow the effects of the altitude to wear off. This is an important period, which allows the body to acclimatize. There are plenty of distractions in Leh, varying from scenic and cultural to gastronomic. Alternatively your tour operator can arrange a short tour to visit some of the fantastic monasteries that have existed here since the 11th Century.
Instead of driving directly to Kun, we will complete a three day trek to the Kanji La (5,280 m), partly for the acclimatization, but also for the opportunity to explore a little of this fascinating region. The drive to Kanji Village is an adventure in itself, firstly along the main highway from Leh to Kashmir, before turning off for the last 10 Km through a spectacular gorge. It takes roughly 4 hours to get to Henaskut - which is like driving back into the middle ages. From the road head, the trek to Kanji Village takes 3 hours. This is on rough road, but it's better to walk than to drive.
Overnight in camp
From Kanji Village we trek up the floor of the valley, passing fields and seasonal settlements, crisscrossing the river (please carry your sandals) to a grassy camp site at the base of Kanji La (6 - 7 hours).
Overnight in camp
Soon after leaving camp in the morning we break off heading steeply up the valley side to a pass at 4,600 m, then up a side valley to the final steep slopes which take us to the pass itself with wonderful views of the mountains of the Zanskar (4 hours from camp). A long descent down barren slopes to Mapollan is quite tough for the ponies (9 hours).
Overnight in camp
We overnight at a campsite at Golmatangol.
Trek to Nun Advance Base Camp
The return journey can be done in two days. The walk from ABC to Tangol takes less than 4 hours and the drive to Kargil takes another 3 or 4. The drive back to Leh from Kargil takes anything from 6 to however many hours depending on traffic, road conditions, landslides, roadworks and the like.
De-briefing at the IMF.
