Amazing experience

I had an amazing experience with Nepal Social Trek! Starting with clear communication and well-organized trip planning followed by a warm welcome, we were impressed by the great hospitality we received from everyone. The trip was a real adventure, full of happy emotions and beautiful moments shared together. Our guides, Narayan and Govinda, were extremely skilled and knowledgeable. They were not only excellent guides but also beautiful people from a human point of view. After the trek, Nepal Social Trek also arranged a guided tour of the city of Bhaktapur and its temples for us. I absolutely recommend Nepal Social Trek!

Good experience in Nepal

I did the Chisapani Nagarkot trekk. My guide Kamal was very considerate, landscapes were nice and the hotels and food were good. We also visited Bhaktapur which is nice. I recommend visting Nepal and the Nepal social company.

Langtang Valley Trek

What an epic trip! Nepal Social Treks were brilliant. Seamless organisation from start to finish. They were always friendly and responsive with communication before I came out, were helpful when it came to hiccups with my baggage. And were flexible with my tour, switching from the Tamang to the Langtang trek with no complaints. My guide - Kamal, and porter - Santa, were both excellent. Kamal was super knowledgable, trustworthy, and great company. Santa’s a legend! The accommodation & food were great. The daily trekking: incredible and just the right level of challenging. I could not recommend this trek enough if you’re after something shorter.

Nepal Social Treks were an amazing company who helped me make memories for my life on a climbing attempt of Island Peak December 2023. Even though it was in the off-season and in December, they ensured I had everything necessary to achieve my goal and enjoy my winter trek. They were also very helpful after the trek and I enjoyed my conversations in their Kathmandu office. I'd recommend my friends to go climbing with them any day.

A trip organized by Simina Cernat our guide from România with a very good collaboration with Nepal Social Trecks. This was an experience of a lifetime rafting mountains nature people… We are grateful we had Lakpa to guide us throughout the trecking. Lakpa carefully addressed all our questions and help us understand Nepali culture he was the best guide friendly, kind, patient and felt very taken care of during our 9days trek on the Annapurna Circuit. At 5000m i had a difficult moment, could hardly walk but Lakpa immediately observed that and he helped me succesfully reach to Thorong La pass. 5416m. Also the two porters Nima and Manut were very nice and helpful. The trip itself was well thought through for our needs and expectations. Thank you Lakpa and high-level

FAQs about Himlung Expedition

Expand all

How much does it cost for the Himlung expedition?

According to the Tourism Department of Nepal, the royalty fees for any mountains depend on two factors. First, the height of the peak and second, the season for the climb. For the spring season, the cost for the Himlung expedition is $500. Likewise, the cost for the autumn season is $250, and for winter/summer, the cost is $125. The seasonal price is the amount you need to pay to the Department of Tourism to get the permit to climb the peak.

How tough is it to climb Himlung?

Himlung Himal has an altitude of 7126m. For professional climbers, it is not a difficult feat to achieve. However, if you’re just starting as a climber, it can be a challenge, given the weather conditions and altitude.

How long does it take to climb Himlung?

The actual climbing period for Himlung Himal is about 15 days once you reach the basecamp. However, the expedition’s overall period, including the trekking time to reach the basecamp is 28-29 days.

What are the food and accomodation facilities like?

Himlung Himal is a remote trekking region. It receives very few tourists, even during the major seasons. That is one of the reasons why it has few teahouses, and the accommodation facilities are pretty basic. We will be staying in these teahouses during the trekking and tents on expedition, so the food and accomodation facilities are basic.

Once you’re in the base camp, the food that we import from abroad is what we offer. Our sherpa cooks will ensure that they give you the taste of home while you’re away from home. Foods like pasta, bacon, pizza, beans, or such are offered. Similarly, for accommodation, we use high-quality tents and stay in camps.

Which route do we use for the climb?

The route to Himlung Himal follows the round Annapurna trek and diverges from the village of Koto. It passes through Phu village, which is one of the remotest villages of Nepal. We will be using the normal south-west route for the summit.

Who will be my guide?

To accompany and guide you to the top and back, we assign our world quality professionals well known for their knowledge and service. They have more than 5 years of experience, along with the experience of summiting Everest at least 3 times.
