    Himlung Himal Expedition (7126m) - 31 days

    Recommendation for Chandra Subba

    My name is Kazik Pichlak. I am a medical doctor, general and oncologic surgeon, with the passion for exploring  all possible  mountains in the world, but particularly Himalaya. In Nepal,   I have been 16 times.
    I cooperate with Mr Chandra and his agency Himalayan Icefall Trekking for many years. He arranged for me and my friends 10 trekkings to different parts of Himalaya and Tibet. Some of them  were standard trekkings, but some were very challenging to remote parts of Himalaya or, for example, with the passes above 6000 metres. All of these were always under the wing of Chandra agency.
    Twice I had serious health problems. Mr Chandra organized very effective help immediately – evacuation from mountain area by helicopter.
    All our trekkings were arranged perfectly. Mr Chandra and his agency’s team are the experts in leading excellent, unforgettable Himalaya trips.
    I recommend with all my heart Mr Chandra’s agency. He and his team guarantee the best service when exploring Himalaya.

    Himlung Himal or Mount Himlung (7126m) is located in the Manaslu region, northeast from Annapurna region, and it lies close to the Tibetan border in a remote part of Nepal. Himlung Himal was a restricted mountain for the expedition until the year 1992, then after opening for the expedition it was first climbed by the Japanese expedition team and later followed by other mountaineering teams. Himlung Himal expedition is one of the most amazing mountaineering experiences with comparatively easy in technicality comparing to other mountains, though a person must have trekking and climbing experiences which can be proved as a plus point, during the Himlung Himal expedition.
    The route to Himlung starts from the city of Besisahar, which is also the starting place for the great Annapurna circuit trekking, from where we drive to the small village of Koto. From Koto the trail is separated, it separates Annapurna circuit route and Himlung Himal Expedition. We start our trekking from koto then to the hidden valley of Narphu then finally arriving at the Himlung base camp. The amazing part of trekking from koto to Himlung base camp is remote villages, beautiful forests, amazing landscapes, People and their culture, astonishing views of mountains and peaks, several high passes, monasteries, mani walls and many more other attractions can be seen, felt and enjoyed.
    Himalayan Icefall trekking has the access to the best-needed equipment and gears and have our own government licensed, experienced Sherpa guides, who are capable of leading you and make your expedition more than successful. During the Himlung Himal expedition, there will be a total, of four camps. The initial himlung base camp will be set at the elevation of 4890 meters, then 5430 meters, 5990 meters and finally at the 6340 meter. Apart from the general himlung himal expedition itinerary, climbing the himlung himal only takes around 15-16 days, with necessary acclimatization. The best time for Himlung Himal expedition is during autumn spring.
