Saribung Expedition


This recently introduced Peak Expedition is ideal for the explorers those who wish to get off the beaten track. Till date, only a few of climbers have reached to the summit of this Peak. Saribung (6346m) lies in the isolated in Damodar Himal, near Damodarkund, border with Tibet.

This is not; however, a technical climbing though considered to be a challenging expedition due to altitude variation and remoteness of the area. Stretched dry rugged terrain and glacier travel mode for the most part with at the most a couple of sections of fixed line requiring the use of a jumar.


The route initially follows the Upper Mustang Trek to Lo-Manthang and Lury Gompa before heading off into the wilds of Namta Khola Valley. After ascending the peak summit, we trek to Phu Valley in Manang district.
