Saribung peak climbing is an opportunity to explore the beautiful valley landscape and remote village, hidden section of deep Himalayan and two different trekking regions: Upper Mustang and Phu. Both the places are full of great sceneries with unique cultural villages in different geographic land. Passing through several villages it offers a good opportunity to experience the diverse and geographical variations.

We will visit the oldest monasteries of the region and interact with the local people and experience their lifestyle. During the trek, we will have magnificent views of Mountains like Nilgiri Himal, Himlung Himal, Lamjung Himal, Mt Manaslu, and Annapurna II from the top of the Saribung peak. Technically climbing to Saribung Peak is not difficult but it demands physical endurance to cross over the high mountain Saribung La lies between Damodar Kunda Region and Nar Phu Valley. Spring and the autumn are the best seasons for this climb.

Saribung peak climbing starts with a scenic drive to Pokhara. From here, we will take a short and scenic mountain flight to Jomsom. After landing at Jomsom, we will start our trek following the trail towards Kagbeni. Our trail passes through diverse landscapes with several villages and ancient gompas towards Lo Manthang. We will visit the fascinating Luri Gompa before heading off into the wilds of Namta Khola valley. This wild area has no settlements. After spending a day for acclimatization in the base camp via Luri Cave Monastery, we head on to the high camp and then climb the Saribung peak.

The trail passes through beautiful locations, villages that have preserved their unique culture & religion, and very diverse terrain. The fabulous and pleasing views of the sparkling white peaks will become one of the best experiences gain from this trek. The trek to Saribung is considered as challenging, due to the remote location and altitudinal variances. During the trek, we will explore the arid landscape of remote Nepal, visit the hidden valleys, and trek through the unspoiled territory. At some section of the trail we need to use the rope to avoid the steep snowy paths.
