For both recreational and sporting reasons, climbing high-altitude mountains is a tremendous physical challenge. High altitudes are defined as those over 4000 to 5000 meters, and extreme altitudes are defined as those above 5000 meters. You must be mentally, emotionally, and physically ready. Getting the proper equipment and preparing oneself through exercise and technique practice are crucial components of mountain climbing. However, eating the correct foods is crucial if you want to be able to build strength during training and climbing days. A healthy diet can increase your total ability to exert effort by 20%. Although it is easier said than done, you may wish to commit to this regimen of eating healthily and exercising just enough to keep yourself physically fit when you are in the mountains and at high elevations. Another aspect of your performance is your diet.

According to research, climbers who ascend high-altitude mountains can burn between 6,000 and 10,000 calories every day. It’s quite common to lose weight, and you’ll need to swiftly regain your power. Your digestive system won’t function as it would at a lower elevation. Food will be rejected by your system because it does not want to work hard and you will have to force yourself to eat. When it comes to nutritional value, carbohydrates are the must-haves in your diet but don’t forget about proteins and fats too. During your climbing hours, you will need to water frequently, eat a lot of easy-to-digest carbohydrates for snacks, and consume more carbohydrates and proteins for dinner at your camps. Your body uses the glucose it has stored to store fat, which it will use when necessary or during a strenuous effort.

Food Recommendations for High Altitude Mountaineering:

01) Foods high in carbohydrates include rice or whole grain goods, bread, pasta, sweet potatoes, potatoes, milk, quinoa, kidney beans, chickpeas, and fruits high in natural sugar (bananas, oranges, blueberries, grapefruit, and apples).

02) Additionally, you can pack conveniently packable, 90% lighter, naturally flavorful, and nutritionally valuable dried frozen meals. It is simple to prepare; simply pour boiling water over it, stir, and wait for ten minutes or so before enjoying it. This is quite useful since it greatly simplifies logistical planning. For mountaineering in particular, we suggest LYO FOODS because they have several excellent options.

03) Meats, tofu, eggs, lentils and seeds, almonds, and cheese are all sources of protein.

04) Sources of fat include olives, chocolate, butter or ghee, and dried meats.

05) It’s crucial to stay hydrated throughout the process. Since you will perspire a lot, we advise you to drink four to 6 litres of water each day. It is insufficient to simply drink ordinary water. Adding electrolyte-rich hydrating tablets to your water is essential. Products suggested include Nunu Hydration tablets and SIS Hydration pills.

06) Mini-meal breaks are essential when hiking or climbing for six to ten hours or longer. Within two to three hours, your body uses up all of the nutrients, so you’ll need to regularly refuel. You’ll need nutrient-dense, conveniently transportable, and non-cooking foods. It is strongly advised to consume bars, hydration pills, energy gels, chocolate, bananas, nuts and seeds, jerky, or dried meat. Prepare them each night and store them in a sealed bag or a convenient location in your backpack. You will feel more active for longer because these superfoods will provide you with the much-needed energy.

You must focus on your nutrition, particularly when you are climbing. When it comes to your trekking or excursion lunch or dinner, don’t forget to consume a lot of carbohydrates. Eat a lot of snacks, almost like a little breakfast, every two to three hours to keep your body energized and to stay hydrated. Avoid drinking alcohol, especially when you’re climbing. Although you may meet porters or Sherpas who have been climbing for years, keep in mind that their bodies have endured this every year. Comparing it won’t help, so keep it for last and enjoy your beer when you get back to base camp or the closest accommodation location after your climbing is done. 

Kahlur Adventures Food List:

We at Kahlur Adventures provide the best food during the tour as well as at the basecamp, thanks to our own kitchen team who provides you tasty and hygienic food in the Indian Himalayas.

Don’t forget to bring your trash with you and dispose of it at your next village or place to stay. Urge your group to refrain from littering the mountains because it may never be possible to clear these secluded and pristine places of rubbish. Keeping the environment clean is our responsibility as travellers and mountaineers. Kahlur Adventure has always been an advocate of this ideology.

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.

      • 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).

      • 11) What types of foods are available during the Mount Nun Expedition? Is clean water available and how much water intake is recommended? Hydration and nutrition recommendation.

        Since we at Kahlur Adventures have been hosting mountaineering trips in the Indian Himalayas for many years and have hosted visitors from all over the world, we are aware that the most crucial aspects of an expedition are proper nutrition, food, and clean water. We employ the best kitchen crew to prepare delectable meals at the base camp and supply hot water for drinking.

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

        As per the rule of the India Mountaineering Foundation, Indian or International climbers require Adventure Insurance cover (helicopter evacuation) to climb any mountain in India. Kahlur Adventures India also partners with some of the top adventure companies like ASC 360 good for Indian citizens and for International climbers Global Rescue.

    • • • • 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.

Mountaineering, the sport or activity of climbing mountains, has a long and rich history in India. Situated in the Himalayan range, which boasts some of the highest peaks in the world, India has attracted mountaineers from around the globe, seeking to conquer its majestic summits. The history and significance of mountaineering in India are closely intertwined with exploration, adventure, and the pursuit of human endurance.

Early days of mountaineering in India:

The early days of mountaineering in India can be traced back to the British colonial era. British officers stationed in India saw the Himalayas as an opportunity for adventure and exploration. In the 19th century, several expeditions were undertaken to survey and map the region. British explorers like William Moorcroft and George Everest, after whom Mount Everest is named, ventured into the Himalayas, sparking curiosity and fascination among mountaineering enthusiasts.

First recorded mountaineering expedition in India:

The first recorded mountaineering expedition in India took place in 1883 when a team led by William W. Graham climbed the peak of Sarankot (20,180 feet) in the Kumaon region. This marked the beginning of a series of mountaineering expeditions in the Indian Himalayas. Notably, in 1899, British mountaineer Aleister Crowley attempted to climb the Kangchenjunga, the world’s third-highest peak, but was unsuccessful.

Indian Mountaineering Foundation

The Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF), established in 1957, played a significant role in promoting mountaineering in India. It provided a platform for aspiring mountaineers to learn and develop their skills. The IMF organized numerous expeditions, including some landmark achievements.

One such milestone in Indian mountaineering history occurred in 1965 when a team led by Captain Mohan Singh Kohli successfully summited the sacred peak of Nanda Devi (25,643 feet). This marked the first ascent of the peak and put India on the global mountaineering map. Another remarkable achievement came in 1984 when an Indo-Nepalese team led by Captain M.S. Kohli climbed Mount Everest (29,029 feet) via the difficult northeast ridge.

Mountaineering in India is not just about conquering peaks but also about preserving and respecting the fragile ecosystems of the mountains. The Indian government, through organizations like the IMF and the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, has taken steps to regulate mountaineering activities, ensuring environmental sustainability and safety. Strict regulations are in place to obtain permits for climbing peaks in protected areas.

Mountaineering has become more accessible in recent years, with a growing interest among Indians in the sport. The popularity of mountaineering has led to the establishment of mountaineering institutes and adventure tourism companies that offer training programs and guided expeditions.

In addition to the Himalayas, India also has other mountain ranges like the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats, which offer opportunities for rock climbing and trekking. These activities attract adventure enthusiasts from different parts of the country and abroad.

The significance of mountaineering in India goes beyond the thrill of scaling peaks. It has become a symbol of national pride and an inspiration for young climbers. Indian mountaineers have not only conquered challenging peaks but have also left a lasting impact on the mountaineering community worldwide.

Indian mountaineers:

Several Indian mountaineers have achieved remarkable feats, such as Bachendri Pal becoming the first Indian woman to climb Mount Everest in 1984 and Arunima Sinha, the first female amputee to climb Mount Everest in 2013. Baljeet Kaur first Indian  who summit five above 8ooo M mountains in 30days, Arjun Vajpai youngest Indian to climb Mount Everest, Sheetal Raj became one of the youngest girl to scale Mount Everest at the age of 23, Rajat known as Rajat Ibex climb several peak of Indian Himalayas, Amit Negi climb many 7000 M peaks In India or 8000 M in Nepal, These achievements have not only broken barriers but have also inspired a new generation of mountaineers in India.

Mountaineering in India represents a unique blend of adventure, exploration, and respect for nature. It has a rich history and continues to play a significant role in promoting outdoor sports, adventure tourism, and national pride. As more Indians embark on mountaineering expeditions, they contribute to the growth and development of the sport, ensuring its legacy for future generations.
