Up in the mountains, it's quite simple to recharge because the scenery is so inspiring. You will cross more suspension bridges on this day than any other on the journey. After crossing a single wooden bridge, you'll begin the inclining segment that leads to Singenge (3,230m). You will set up a camp to spend the night in since there are no tea houses in the village.

You start to notice some of the distinctive, vibrant Chortens that Nar and Phu are renowned for. Before coming to a larger glacier stream with a bridge that is only partially covered in large slate slabs, you must cautiously cross a smaller glacial stream. After another hour and a half of hiking through lovely gorges and canyons, you arrive at the Phu gate. The three towns of Phu, as well as an old "dzong" and the remnants of the two forts, are all visible for the first time via this historic gate. They are all in ruins presently but are beautifully sited above the plains before Phu. Spend the night in the camp.

Day 23: Trek from Phu to Meta

From Phu Village, the trip will turn around and continue. A trail that descends will take you out of this picturesque settlement. Once more, the path will pass by the monasteries and historic structures that have already been viewed. Since there are more descending routes than climbing ones, it is far more practical than the arrival trip. Thus, you won't tire easily as you take in the breathtaking mountain vistas. After reaching Meta village, the 6-hour hike from Phu village would come to an end. You will take a nap in one of the settlement's lodges.
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Day 24: Trek from Meta to Koto

On the same trail that you descend to the valley's base, we continue our journey. In order to reach a deep forest, the trail ahead passes through Singenge stone cottages. The path ahead takes you to a suspension bridge over Seti Khola after a small descent. After crossing the magnificent suspension bridge, there is a brief ascent to Koto village. The hike takes about 6-7 hours. You'll spend the night at a guest home when you get to Koto 2600m.

Day 25: Trek from Koto to Dharapani 

We will savor a fantastic breakfast this morning at the guest house. We will then gather our goods and depart with koto. As we get closer to the village of Thanchok, the route becomes steeper.

Route Map

Useful Information

Difficulty:

Himlung is not a technically challenging mountain to climb, but it does take several days to complete the ascent through mixed terrain at high altitudes. This trip is a difficult climb because of the high altitude, which reaches 7000m. With the aid of Ice-Axes and Crampons, climbers must move independently across terrain that is made up of rock, ice, and snow. Additionally, you need to carry your own climbing equipment, which might weigh between 10 and 15 kg.

If you have summited peaks higher than 6,000 meters and are confident with ice ax and crampons, Himlung can be your next climbing endeavor to advance your experience at high altitudes. In order to maximize the chances of success, every detail has been taken into consideration when planning our climbing schedule.

Route:

The Himlung expedition climbing route develops over varied terrain with most sections being 30 degrees steep. The majority of the route between base camp and Camp II is via rock and moraine. The route travels largely via steep snow slopes with some mixed ice climbing from Camp II to the summit. This peak is not more than 40 degrees steep.
