The trek

A highly technical high-altitude expedition to the 7,135 m summit of Mt. Nun, the tallest peak in the Suru valley, for experienced climbers only.

Mt. Nun, at 7,135 m, is the highest peak of the Suru valley and one of the most sought-after 7,000 m objectives in the Indian Himalaya. Rising above the village of Tangol in the Kargil district, it shares a 4 km snow plateau with its twin Mt. Kun. This is a highly technical, expedition-grade climb meant for experienced mountaineers who are already comfortable on steep snow and ice, fixed ropes and multi-camp high-altitude climbing.

The expedition runs Leh to Leh and includes acclimatisation in Leh, the drive into the Suru valley, a trek to base camp and a long climbing phase of rotations between higher camps before the summit push. The itinerary carries generous reserve days for the weather-dependent summit window. A prior 6,000 m summit and formal mountaineering training are strongly recommended before attempting Nun.

Highlights

  • A 7,135 m summit — the highest peak of the Suru valley
  • A serious, technical Himalayan climb on snow, ice and fixed ropes
  • The remote Suru valley and its Nun-Kun massif

The itinerary

23 days from Tangol (Kargil). Tap any day to read the detail — distances and altitudes are planning figures and may shift with conditions.

The journey begins in Leh, the historic gateway to Ladakh and launchpad for some of the grandest peaks in the trans-Himalaya. Well-connected and welcoming, this high-altitude hub is easily accessible, and climbers looking for route details can consult our travel guide via the link provided. Day one is dedicated entirely to your arrival and settling into the guest house. Arriving directly from sea level into Leh’s thin, dry atmosphere puts immediate demands on the lungs, making slow, unhurried rest essential to let your body ease into the altitude before the climb begins.

What's included

  • Accommodation in Leh/Kargil and all camps on the mountain
  • All meals from Leh to Leh (veg, freshly cooked)
  • Certified mountaineering guides, Sherpas and high-altitude support
  • Peak/climbing permits and technical group gear (fixed ropes, ice screws, snow bars)
  • First-aid, oximeter and emergency oxygen

Not included

  • Flights and travel to and from Leh
  • Personal climbing gear, insurance and offloading charges
  • Anything not listed under inclusions
