Overview

Mount Nun is the highest peak of Zanskar range in Ladakh. Mount Nun Expedition is for experienced mountaineers only aspiring for Mount Everest & other 8000M+ peaks. Demanding glacial formations, heavy icefalls, thoroughly crevassed surfaces, vertical ice walls, and unpredictable weather conditions make it more challenging.
The Nun Kun massif is separated by short plateau of about 4 km in length. Mt. Nun 7,135 m (23,409ft) and its neighbor peak Mt. Kun 7,077m (23,218ft) has separate traditional routes. After unsuccessful attempts to climb the mountain in 1934, 1937, and 1946 the first ascent of Nun was in 1953 by French mountaineers Mrs. Claude Kogan and Mr. Pierre Vittoz, a Swiss missionary residing in Leh Ladakh.
Mt. Nun expedition is perfect for those mountaineers who have already done 6000 M+ peaks.
Due to the extreme & unpredictable weather and rough terrain demands aspirants to be physically fit with high mental endurance. It is mandatory that you have enough experience in mountain climbing before planning for Mt Nun Expedition. Prior knowledge of mountaineering techniques like roping up procedures, using ice axe in front point climb, climbing with ascender-descender, carabineers, snow stakes or anchors, crampons, fixed roping, and jumar climbing is mandatory.
