The Himlung Himal Expedition is an exhilarating 30-day journey to one of Nepal's most pristine and less-traveled peaks, located in the remote Nar-Phu and Manaslu region near the Nepal-Tibet border. Rising to an altitude of 7,126 meters (23,380 feet), Himlung Himal is a technically moderate climb, making it an excellent choice for climbers looking to advance their high-altitude mountaineering experience in a beautiful but less-crowded environment.
