Why Choose the Mount Kun Expedition?
The Mount Kun Expedition is nothing but a trek; it's a journey into the heart of the Himalayas, which suits the challenge-seekers as much as it does those interested in breathtaking natural beauty. Climbing one of the highest Indian Himalayan peaks with hard ground and stunning views in this expedition will help provide the experienced climber to test their skills and endurance on high altitudes.
Mount Kun is a peak in the Zanskar range often overshadowed by its higher neighbors but gives a very different type of climb. The Mount Kun trek takes it up through remotest valleys and glacial paths and alpine meadows to the highest summit that provides panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.
