Seldomly-visited seven-thousander in Nepal
Himlung Himal

26. April – 26. May 2013 / 31 days

Himlung Himal (7126m) is located notheast of the giant Annapurna range near the Tibetan border and thus, also lies on the metereological divide of Nepal and Tibet. Remote villages, a fascinating culture and mountains that are almost unknown are typical for this region. Cleared for climbing in 1992, Himlung is still not visited frequently, eventhough the ascent route of this seven-thousander is technically easy and very interesting.
