The post List of clothing and gear for Nun, Kun & Satopanth 7000 M Mountains first appeared on Kahlur Adventures India.

At 7135 meters, Mount Nun, surrounded by neighbouring mountain peaks in Ladakh’s Zanskar valley, gleams with its snow-capped head. One of the tallest Himalayan mountain peak in Kargil – Leh Ladakh (UT), Mount Nun, is directly adjacent to its twin counterpart, Mount Kun. It takes prior experience and knowledge with climbing equipment to climb the challenging peaks of Mount Nun. Adventuresome mountain enthusiasts can fulfil their ambitions of climbing Mount Nun Peak in India with the help of Kahlur Adventures. The mountaineers trying to undertake this difficult job are put to the test by the frequently harsh and erratic weather conditions on Nun Peak India.

Mount Nun proudly draws your attention with its stunning brilliance as soon as you arrive in Leh, and you can see it the entire way to Tangol Village. In addition to the demanding creation of glaciers, icefall slopes, towering ice walls, sharp-edged ridges, high cliffs, and dramatic weather changes, the climb to Nun peak 7135 M  is full of unexpected obstacles that keep you on your toes. All the 7000 M mountains in India are somewhat challenging, but the Mt. Nun trip can be extremely taxing if you have never climbed a technical mountain peak before. You must be both emotionally and physically prepared for this challenge. For this reason, you must have a mountaineering certification or comparable high-altitude climbing expertise.

Mount Nun and Kun India

The snowy plateau that separates India’s Mount Nun Kun Massif Peak and Mount Kun is 14 kilometers long by drive only. About 289 kilometers from Leh, in the Suru Valley, is this massif, which is part of the Kargil area. The Mount Nun adventure is fascinating because it provides you with a taste of what it would be like to ascend some of the world’s highest mountain peaks, including Mount Everest (8849 M) or another 14X8000 or  Seven Summit Climbs. In 1953, Pierre Vittoz and Claude Kogan, a trailblazing female mountaineer, made the first-ever trip to the magnificent Mount Nun. At Kahlur Adventures, we provide a fully guided trip to Mount Nun because we believe that every climber with lofty aspirations should have the resources to realize them.

This harsh terrain is made much more unfavourable by the bitterly cold temperatures and strong winds. It takes a specific skill set and mental and physical fortitude to climb this 7000-meter peak in India. But you’re safe with the help of the knowledgeable group leader from Kahlur Adventures. The Nun trip is very well-liked by daring mountaineers because of its difficult nature. The strong wind propels you in all directions, and the weather might change drastically in a few hours, so you receive a good dose of adrenaline.

Pre 14X8000 M Training on Nun Peak

 The Mt. Nun trek is ideal for training summits 7000 meters and above, as well as pre-Everest training peaks in India.  Sister peaks Mount Nun and Mount Kun are the above 7000 M mountain peaks in Ladakh. scaling these magnificent peaks is on the bucket list of all adventurous mountaineers around the globe. A unique chance to get high-altitude climbing skills on a traditional Himalayan expedition and advance to even higher peaks like 7500M and above or even some less technical 8000M peaks is provided by climbing Mount Nun.

      • 04) How is Kahlur operating the Nun expedition differently?

        The team at Kahlur Adventures consists of skilled trekkers and mountaineers who are well familiar with the Himalayas. You need the direction of experts who are equipped to handle any emergency that may arise during a strenuous adventure like Mount Nun.

        05) How many climbing routes are there to climb Nun Peak?

        After 2023, the majority of the expedition team will ascend Mount Nun via the left ridge, however, there are two routes: the left ridge and the right ridge. The team also determines the route; if someone wishes to climb Nun Peak by a different path, team Kahlur offers complete logistical support.

        06) Why is Mount Nun easy and safest for an 8000M expedition?

        A climber must have solid experience on a 7000-meter peak to ascend an 8000-meter peak. This will allow him or her to test their technical climbing abilities and get experience at elevations higher than 7000 meters. Climbing in the Indian Himalayas is a unique experience in and of itself. Seeing Incredible India and experiencing its cuisine and culture is equally unique. Pre-training in the high-altitude Indian Himalayas is always a good idea because climbing any 8000 M peak requires a minimum budget of USD 25,000, and if you don’t plan it well, all of that money will be wasted. Even from a financial standpoint, climbing 7000 M mountains is far less expensive than climbing any other Himalayan nation.

        07) What level of experience and qualifications are required for climbers to safely participate in the Nun Peak 7135M expedition? Additionally, is it necessary for climbers to be accompanied by professional guides?

        International climbers must have at least 5000 meters of climbing experience or strong technical climbing expertise, whereas Indian climbers must have a basic advanced mountaineering certificate. Indeed, having experienced guides with you during a mountain climb is usually beneficial. Their duties are limited to opening routes and carrying supplies, but they also provide excellent companionship and moral support, teach you some new climbing techniques, and help you handle emergency switch actions.

        08) What is the number of high camps established for the Nun expedition?

        The high-altitude circumstances become unpredictable once you start mountaineering. Plans are continuously revised to reflect the current circumstances. It’s challenging to provide set day-by-day schedules, as we do for treks. However, in general, the itinerary includes camp rotation cycles, which are a common acclimatization procedure on high-altitude trips. Three camps on Mount Nun are located 5,550, 6,100, and 6,400 meters above the base camp.

        

      • Camp 1: At 5500 meters above sea level, Camp 1 is 900 meters higher than Base Camp. After crossing the river to the opposite side of the campgrounds, the first part of this trek consists of a 2-hour hike up a steep rocky slope. You need to closely follow the instructions of Kahlur Azdventures’ trek leader.  Although there are many rocks and pebbles in this section, the trail is quite well-designed, which makes the climb a little less bleak. The 2-hour trek requires you to walk on enormous stones as you ascend the mountain ridge and descend to the opposite side; proceed with caution until you reach a location known as “Crampon Point.” This notorious point is a huge rock with a little hole at the bottom, which makes it the ideal location to keep all the equipment safe from rain and ferocious winds.

        The 300-meter stretch of a 75-degree gradient ice wall between Base Camp and Camp 1 is the most demanding. There is another stretch of steep ice that must be negotiated after the first wall. The slopes become a little softer and the snow a little softer when we pass the ice wall and its annexe. After that, you make a right turn, cross a few gulfs, and arrive at a place where the slope approaches 30 degrees. This marks the beginning of the country of hidden crevasses and the conclusion of the fixed rope segment. Camp 1 is situated in the centre of a snowfield that is 4 km wide. After a while, it feels like you’re going into oblivion as you traverse the long, level terrain. After departing Base Camp, you should arrive at your tents in five to six hours.

        Camp 2: Between Camps 1 and 2, the route is a continuous, straight climb with 60–70 degree grades. It should take the climbers an average of nine hours to complete the full climb, which is a 600-meter height increase from Camp 1. You will be on the front point for most of the ascent, depending on the snow’s texture! However, negotiating sizable boulder and rock portions while wearing crampons continues to be the most challenging aspect of the ascent.

        

      • Despite all of these issues, Camp 2 is utterly captivating. Without a doubt, some of the most breathtaking and exciting high-altitude campsites can be found on Mount Nun. However, Camp 2 stands out among the three. It creates the fun of a Black Jack movie while giving you the tension of a 007 movie. Tents on Camp 2 are hanging in midair, perched on a narrow, sloping ridge of a towering pinnacle. Look up and you will find that the campsite has some of the most spectacular vistas they have ever seen in the morning and evening. Camp 2 may surpass the summit itself because of the breathtaking views it offers. Sitting there with an unhindered view of the snowfield below, the cloud show is breathtaking.

        Camp 3: At 6400 meters, Camp 3, often known as the Summit Camp, is 300 meters higher vertically than Camp 2. But after navigating the treacherous mountains to get to Camp 2, it should not feel too exhausting. The remainder of the route consists primarily of snow dunes that rise and fall at a gradient of no more than 40 degrees, following the initial steep descent from the campsite. Camp 3 is situated in the centre of a snowfield, just like Camp 1. It should take you almost six hours to travel from Camp 2 to Camp 3.

        Summit Push: Since the ice is at its most stable throughout the night, it is crucial to travel as far as you can during this time, just like on any other summit. Between eleven and midnight, you begin the ascent. As you concentrate on the ascent and the objective at hand, maybe all of the tension and anxiety from the physical and emotional strain you have placed on your body over the last few days will melt away in the nighttime silence. From Summit Camp, you will reach the west ridge by crossing 40–60 degree ice before the gradient drops to 40–50 degrees. Because of the crampons, the final portion with the big boulders is very challenging. After the intense physical and emotional exhaustion from hours of climbing, it is quite difficult to support your weight and drag yourself over the enormous boulders. But after navigating the boulders, the remaining distance to the summit is only about 50 meters. It should take 14 to 16 hours to travel back and forth between Summit Camps.

        Camp 3 to Base Camp: This will be a long day. Early in the morning, after breakfast, be ready for really steep descents. Depleted energy tends to defocus your thoughts, so try to maintain the same level of concentration as you would while climbing the mountain because descents can be dangerous. It will take about 8 to 10 hours to reach the Base Camp.

        

        09) What level of training and experience is required for the Mount Nun expedition climb? Can you provide guidance on an appropriate training plan?

        Being in excellent physical condition is crucial when organizing any high-altitude excursion, and the Nun expedition is no exception. A consistent, well-organized training program ought to be put into action. To be ready for this adventure, you can either use the offered training plan or work with a personal trainer in person or virtually. Step-up ladders, which are used to ascend steep faces at high altitudes, can be used to simulate walking.

        We strongly advise concentrating on strength, core, and endurance training. Some of the recommended training methods include aerobic workouts like long-distance running (50–60 km+) or cycling (100–160 km weekly), as well as hiking long distances (8–12 hours) with elevation gain while carrying 15-20 kg weights. Training for muscle endurance and strength is also essential. One of the greatest exercises for this is a kettlebell routine. We suggest planning your training at least Three to Five months before the date you plan to go climbing.

        10) Recommended clothing and gear – boot required for Nun expedition climb (trekking and mountaineering)? Can I rent gear for the Nun Peak climb?

        Kahlur Adventures doesn’t provide the climbing equipment on rent, But we can connect you with some of the providers like the Indian Mountaineering Foundation, etc. An essential component of a successful peak or mountain climb is having good, sturdy equipment. To assist you in your ascent, we have compiled a list of the essential mountain climbing equipment. Before adding or removing anything from your duffel, please carefully analyze each item and make sure you understand how each piece of equipment works. Remember that our 6000 M and other 7000+ expedition leaders have meticulously produced this list. Don’t skimp on the equipment’s quality. The equipment described below is for Himalayan and mountain peaks between 5000 and 7000+ meters. The recommended essential equipment for difficult situations is the expeditions that we execute at Kahlur Adventure (Nun Kun Peak, Satopanth Peak, Mount Nanda Devi East, and Papsura Climb, The Mountains of India).

        12) Recommended insurance cover for Mount Nun 7135 M Expedition. Do I need helicopter evacuation to be included in my insurance coverage?

    • • • • 14) How many tips do you suggest for guides and porter teams? Summit tips? . . .

            Since tipping is the most frequently asked issue by climbers, there are no set guidelines in India; instead, it is entirely up to the visitor. The recommended tip range for Summit is $300 to $700 per person.

            Additionally, visitors provide porters with much-needed hiking gear, including helmets, gloves, trek poles, and jackets. Since we mostly employ locals from Tangol village in Kargil, climbers can also make direct donations to the government office or local NGO for things like children’s education.

            15) Can my friends and family join me on the trek into Nun Base Camp? 

            Yes, they can accompany you on the trip, but they will have to pay for the base camp services. Alternatively, they can do the local Leh Ladakh tour and end up joining you.
