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.
