Himlung Himal was first climbed in 1992 by a Japanese team and when climbed by Adventure Peaks in 2013 there had been only one British ascent of this 7000m peak. We have since operated 3 successful expeditions with clients reaching the summit on each occasion.

Even though it is technically easy, it does require a high level of fitness and is a very cold mountain. We anticipate placing three camps above Base Camp that will be put in place by our strong Sherpa team.

A stunning peak in a remote location with an awesome approach trek!

Himlung Himal Expedition April 2014 - 9th May: The team moved to Camp 2 on Thursday getting ready for their summit attempt, and this morning James, Zach, Phil and Jason made their summit bid. They set off at 2.30 a.m this morning and by 6.30 a.m had reached 6400m at the base of the ridge. Due to the recent heavy snowfall, there was excessive snow on the ridge, to the point that crevasses had opened up. It was decided that conditions were too difficult to continue, so the team made the wise decision to descend.

It is vitally important that you have adequate travel insurance for your trip with Adventure Peaks. We recognise the complexity and variety of choice in the insurance market and know that many of you either have your own preferred insurer or have annual multi trip cover in place already. If this is the case, please ensure that your insurer is aware of your Adventure Peaks itinerary and can agree to cover the activities being undertaken.

Adventure Peaks do not provide any advice on travel insurance, although it is a requirement of our booking conditions that you have travel insurance which covers the activities which you are likely to be undertaking on your holiday. Cover must include emergency medical, helicopter evacuation, repatriation and rescue expenses.

It is strongly recommended that suitable cancellation insurance is purchased at the time of booking as all deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
