The Upper Mustang to Nar Phu Valley via Saribung Peak expedition is a rare trans-Himalayan journey that connects two of Nepal’s most restricted and culturally preserved regions—Upper Mustang and Nar Phu Valley—through the challenging high-altitude pass and summit of Saribung Peak (6,328 m). Organised by Mountain of Nepal, this expedition blends cultural exploration, remote trekking, and technical alpine climbing into one continuous adventure across the rain-shadow region of the Himalayas.The journey begins in Kathmandu with expedition preparation and permit formalities, followed by a long drive through Pokhara to reach Kagbeni and onward into the barren landscapes of Upper Mustang. From ancient walled cities like Lo Manthang to high alpine valleys near Damodar Kunda, the route gradually ascends into extreme altitude terrain before reaching Saribung Base Camp and the summit push. After the peak, the route descends into Nar Phu Valley, exiting near Koto.This expedition is both physically demanding and culturally enriching, offering rare access to Tibetan-influenced villages, high desert plateaus, glacial basins, and untouched Himalayan wilderness. The 24-day itinerary is carefully designed for acclimatisation and safety while maintaining a strong exploratory spirit.Crossing two restricted regions in one expeditionSummit of Saribung Peak (6,328 m)Cultural immersion in Upper Mustang and Nar PhuRemote camping in high-altitude wildernessOperated by Mountain of Nepal with expert guidesBest Season for Upper Mustang to Nar Phu Valley via Saribung ClimbThe best time to attempt the Upper Mustang to Nar Phu Valley via Saribung Peak expedition is during the pre-monsoon (spring) and post-monsoon (autumn) seasons. These windows offer the most stable weather conditions, clear skies, and safer glacier conditions for high-altitude climbing.The spring season (April to June) is ideal for climbing Saribung Peak. During this period, temperatures are moderate at lower elevations, and the high Himalayan weather is relatively stable. Snow conditions are generally predictable, making glacier travel safer. This is also a period when the high passes between Upper Mustang and Nar Phu Valley are more accessible.Autumn season (September to November) is equally popular, especially for trekkers who prefer crystal-clear mountain views after the monsoon. Visibility is excellent, and the landscapes of Upper Mustang appear more vibrant after seasonal rains. However, nights at higher camps like Saribung Base Camp and High Camp can be significantly colder.Seasonal considerations:Spring: Stable snow conditions, warmer temperaturesAutumn: Best visibility, dry trails, colder nightsWinter: Extremely harsh, not recommendedMonsoon: Risk of landslides in lower regionsThe expedition avoids deep winter due to heavy snowfall and summer monsoon due to trail instability in the lower valleys. Mountain of Nepal schedules departures strategically in these optimal seasons to maximise safety and summit success rates.Upper Mustang to Nar Phu Valley via Saribung Climb: Difficulty and TransportationThis expedition is considered very challenging to extreme difficulty, combining long-distance trekking, high-altitude acclimatisation, and technical glacier climbing. The ascent of Saribung Peak (6,328 m) requires basic mountaineering skills such as rope handling, crampon use, and ice axe techniques.The route involves continuous elevation gain from Kagbeni (2,800 m) through Ghiling, Lo Manthang, and onward to remote wilderness zones like Damodar Kunda before reaching Base Camp (5,200 m). The summit push from High Camp (5,600 m) involves 10–11 hours of climbing and descent, making it physically and mentally demanding.Transportation is a mix of long overland drives and trekking:Kathmandu to Pokhara: paved highway travelPokhara to Kagbeni: rough mountainous roadsMustang road section: off-road 4WD jeep tracksEntire high-altitude section: fully trekking and camping basedDifficulty factors:Altitude above 6,000 m with thin oxygenLong walking days (6–8 hours average)Remote terrain with no rescue access nearbyGlacier travel and crevasse riskCold nighttime temperatures (-10°C to -25°C at high camps)Key preparation points:Prior trekking experience above 4,000 mPhysical endurance training (cardio + strength)Basic mountaineering skills are recommendedMental resilience for remote isolationMountain of Nepal provides experienced climbing guides, porters, oxygen support, and emergency protocols to ensure safety throughout the journey.Food and Accommodation for Upper Mustang to Nar Phu Valley via Saribung ClimbAccommodation during the expedition varies from hotels in Kathmandu to basic teahouses in lower Mustang and full tented camping in high-altitude wilderness areas. In cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, travellers stay in comfortable tourist-standard hotels with modern amenities. However, once the journey enters Upper Mustang and higher elevations, accommodation becomes simpler and more traditional.In villages such as Kagbeni, Ghiling, and Lo Manthang, trekkers stay in local lodges or teahouses offering basic rooms with shared bathrooms. As the route progresses beyond Lo Manthang toward Saribung Base Camp and Nar Phu Valley, there are no permanent settlements, so Mountain of Nepal sets up fully equipped camping systems.Food services include:Freshly cooked Nepali meals (dal bhat, vegetables, rice)Pasta, noodles, soups, and Tibetan bread in lodgesHigh-calorie camping meals at high campsTea, coffee, and hydration support at all stagesAt higher altitudes, food is carefully planned to provide sufficient calories for energy expenditure. Cooking is handled by trained expedition cooks who prepare hygienic meals even in extreme conditions.Accommodation types:Hotels: Kathmandu & PokharaTeahouses: Lower Mustang villagesTented camps: Remote trekking & climbing sectionsHigh camp shelters: Fixed alpine tents with insulationMountain of Nepal ensures all logistics, including sleeping tents, dining tents, and kitchen setups, are fully managed to support safety and comfort in remote environments.Upper Mustang to Nar Phu Valley via Saribung Climb PermitsSince this expedition passes through restricted and protected regions, multiple permits are required. Both Upper Mustang and Nar Phu Valley are classified as restricted areas by the Government of Nepal, requiring special documentation and licensed guide support.

The Mera Peak expedition is a classic Himalayan journey that combines remote trekking, high-altitude acclimatisation, and a non-technical glacier climb to one of Nepal’s highest trekking peaks at 6,476m. The route follows the scenic Hinku Valley, offering a quieter and more wilderness-focused alternative to the Everest region.Your journey begins with a spectacular mountain flight to Lukla (2,800m), followed by several days of trekking through traditional villages, forested ridges, and high passes. The trail gradually descends and ascends through peaceful and less-travelled terrain, passing settlements such as Puiyan, Panggom, and Nashing Dingma before entering the remote Hinku Valley. As you move deeper into the Himalayas, the landscape shifts from lush rhododendron and pine forests to open alpine valleys and glacial terrain. Key stops include Kothe, Thaknak, and Khare (5,000m), where climbers prepare for the summit phase. A dedicated acclimatisation hike and pre-climb training session ensure safe progression into high altitude. From Khare, the route leads onto the glacier via Mera La (5,300m) and up to High Camp (5,800m), where climbers prepare for the summit push. The ascent of Mera Peak involves an early morning glacier climb using crampons and ropes, rewarded with panoramic views of Mount Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and other Himalayan giants from the summit. After the successful climb, the route retraces back through the Hinku Valley and crosses Zatrwa La Pass (4,600m) before descending to Lukla, completing a full circuit through one of Nepal’s most beautiful and remote mountain regions. This expedition is ideal for trekkers seeking a challenging high-altitude adventure with basic mountaineering experience, combining wilderness trekking, glacier travel, and a rewarding Himalayan summit.Summit Nepal’s highest trekking peak (6,461m)Stunning Himalayan panorama (5 eight-thousanders visible)Remote and less crowded trekking routeGlacier walking and basic mountaineering trainingCultural experience in Sherpa villagesBest Season for Mera Peak ClimbingThe best seasons for Mera Peak Climbing with Mountain of Nepal are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These periods provide the most stable weather conditions, clear skies, and excellent mountain visibility, making the summit attempt safer and more enjoyable. Spring is especially beautiful due to blooming rhododendron forests and slightly warmer temperatures at higher elevations.Autumn, on the other hand, is considered the most popular season because of its post-monsoon clarity. The air is clean, the trails are dry, and the visibility of the Himalayan peaks is at its peak. Winter climbing is possible but extremely cold, especially above Khare and High Camp, while the monsoon season (June to August) is not recommended due to heavy rainfall, slippery trails, and flight disruptions to Lukla.Season highlights:Spring (Mar–May): Blooming forests, stable weather, good acclimatisationAutumn (Sep–Nov): Best visibility, dry trails, safest conditionsWinter (Dec–Feb): Possible but very cold and challengingMonsoon (Jun–Aug): Not recommended due to rain and landslidesChoosing the right season ensures better acclimatisation, safer climbing conditions, and a higher chance of successful summit with the Mountain of Nepal.Mera Peak Climbing Difficulty and TransportationMera Peak is classified as a non-technical trekking peak, but it should not be underestimated. The main challenge is altitude rather than technical climbing skills. Climbers must be prepared for long trekking days, glacier walking, and extreme cold at higher camps. The summit day involves early morning ascent, use of crampons, ropes, and basic ice axe techniques, which are taught during acclimatisation at Khare by the climbing guides of Mountain of Nepal.The trek requires good physical fitness, stamina, and mental endurance. Altitude sickness is a real risk as the route climbs above 5,000m before reaching High Camp at 5,780m. Proper acclimatisation days, hydration, and a slow ascent are essential for success.

The Kanchenjunga Expedition (8,586m) is one of the most challenging and remote high-altitude climbing adventures in the world. Organized professionally by Mountain of Nepal, this expedition takes climbers to the world’s third-highest peak, located in eastern Nepal on the border with India. Unlike more commercialized peaks, Kanchenjunga offers a raw and isolated Himalayan experience, demanding strong technical skills, endurance, and mental resilience.The journey begins with a gradual approach through lowland villages, dense forests, and alpine valleys before reaching the extreme icy environment of the upper mountain. Climbers pass through several acclimatization camps, including Ramche, Glacier Camp, and Advanced Base Camp, before entering the high-altitude climbing zone. The expedition is not just about physical climbing but also about adapting to isolation, harsh weather, and complex logistics in one of the least visited regions of the Himalayas.Under the guidance of Mountain of Nepal, climbers receive full logistical support, experienced Sherpa guidance, weather forecasting, and oxygen management systems. The expedition typically lasts around 50–60 days, including acclimatization, rotation cycles, and summit attempts.Summit of the world’s 3rd-highest mountain (8,586m)Remote and less commercialized climbing routeMultiple acclimatization rotationsTechnical ice and mixed climbing sectionsFull support from the Mountain of Nepal expedition teamBest Season for Kanchenjunga ExpeditionThe best time to attempt the Kanchenjunga Expedition is during the pre-monsoon (spring) season from April to May and the post-monsoon (autumn) season from late September to October. These periods offer the most stable weather conditions, clearer skies, and safer climbing windows, which are critical for such a technically demanding peak.The spring season is particularly popular because temperatures are slightly warmer, and snow conditions are more predictable for establishing higher camps. However, strong winds and occasional snowfall are still expected at higher elevations. Autumn offers clearer visibility and more stable atmospheric conditions, although temperatures are colder compared to spring. Mountain of Nepal carefully analyzes weather patterns before scheduling summit pushes to ensure maximum safety.Outside these seasons, the region experiences heavy monsoon rains or extreme winter cold, making climbing highly dangerous and impractical. Landslides, avalanches, and poor visibility are common during off-seasons, significantly increasing expedition risk.Key Highlights:Best seasons: April–May & September–OctoberStable weather and safer summit windowsSpring: warmer temperatures, better snow conditionsAutumn: clearer skies, colder but stable conditionsAvoid the monsoon and winter due to extreme hazardsKanchenjunga Expedition Difficulty and TransportationThe Kanchenjunga Expedition is classified as a very high-difficulty climb, requiring strong technical mountaineering skills, prior 7000m+ experience, and excellent physical conditioning. The route includes steep ice walls, crevasse navigation, avalanche-prone slopes, and long summit pushes above 8,000 meters where oxygen levels are critically low.Climbers must be comfortable using fixed ropes, ice axes, crampons, and supplemental oxygen systems. The isolation of the region adds another layer of difficulty, as rescue operations are extremely limited compared to more commercial peaks like Everest. Mountains of Nepal ensure climbers undergo proper acclimatization rotations and safety training before attempting higher camps.Transportation to the mountain is also complex. The journey includes a flight from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur, followed by long off-road drives through Phidim and Yamphudin. From there, a multi-day trek leads into remote wilderness areas with no road access. This combination of air, road, and trekking makes logistics a key challenge.Key Highlights:Extremely high technical difficulty (8000m expedition level)Requires prior high-altitude experienceIce, glacier, and steep climbing sectionsMulti-stage transportation: flight + long road + trekkingRemote region with limited rescue accessFood and Accommodation for Kanchenjunga ExpeditionFood and accommodation during the Kanchenjunga Expedition vary depending on altitude. In Kathmandu and lower villages like Ilam or Phidim, climbers stay in comfortable hotels and lodges with a variety of meals available. As the expedition progresses into higher regions, accommodation becomes more basic, shifting to tented camps managed by Mountain of Nepal.At base camp and higher camps, expedition-grade tents are used for sleeping, dining, and storage. Meals are prepared by experienced kitchen staff and Sherpa teams, ensuring high-calorie, nutritious food suitable for extreme altitude conditions. Typical meals include soups, rice, pasta, lentils, energy snacks, and hot drinks to maintain hydration and stamina.Food quality is carefully managed to support energy levels during demanding climbs. Hydration is a major priority due to altitude sickness risks. At higher camps, food becomes simpler but calorie-dense to reduce weight and maximize efficiency.Key Highlights:Hotels in Kathmandu, lodges in lower trekking regionsTented accommodation at base and higher campsHigh-calorie, warm, and energy-rich mealsProfessional kitchen support by Mountain of NepalEmphasis on hydration and altitude nutritionKanchenjunga Expedition PermitsClimbing Kanchenjunga (8,586m) requires multiple official permits issued by the Government of Nepal.
