Introduction

Test yourself at altitude. Lungser Kangri is a straightforward peak, little more than a tough walk up, so suitable even for inexperienced climbers. Acclimatizing to the extreme altitude is the key so we take that seriously with a stunning, well planned trek that includes no less than five trek nights sleeping at 5000m or higher and a 6000m practice peak to prepare us for the 5680m base camp and 6000m high camp altitudes.
The trek really is a delight, traversing some of our favourite areas, glorious big sky trekking and peaceful camps, with kiang roaming and nomads shepherding their yaks, sheep and pashmina goats. Then there is famed Tso Moriri, a mesmerizing 28km long lake, and those photogenic cloudscapes. And we think we have the best trek set up and meals, for a wonderful all round experience.
We aim to have a fun, flowing trek and a safe climb - join us!
