Tour Plan
Morning after breakfast you will drive to Gyalmotongde, On the way you will cross Indua valley, Kargil, Suru valley. * hrs.
After an Early breakfast we will ascend towards the Murin folling the Narrow valley.
Trek Chumiklakmo to Basecamp (4500 meters) 5 hrs
Rest at Base camp. Preparation for Summit.
We will use two more camps above camp 1. Camp 2 is located at approximately 6,000m and camp 3 is our high camp at 6,300m. The Sherpas will fix around 1,400m of rope on the steeper sections of the climb.
The route between camp 1 and camp 2 crosses the glacier, then follows slopes of around 45 degrees on mixed ground. This is the most technical part of the climb, taking 5 - 7 hours and utilising 1,000m of fixed rope to reach camp 2. From camp 2 to camp 3 we rope up and cross a huge snow plateau, whichseparates Nun and Kun, to set up camp at the base of the summit ridge. From our high camp at 6,300m, we follow slopes of 35 to 40 degrees onto a saddle on the right-hand skyline ridge (6,500m). From here the ridge is followed to the rounded summit. From the summit, we descend the same way and return to camp 2, before descending to base camp the following day
Coming down is much easier therefore you can come directly to Gyalmothango from Basecamp.
Today you will drive directly to Leh of 9 hours. You will cross the beautiful suru valley. In the evening you will be in the Hotel.
Note:You will need a warm up trek before start the Kun Expedition.
