Saribung Peak Climbing from Phu

Saribung Peak (6328m) is one of the most popular 6000 meter peaks in Nepal. Saribung Peak (6328m) is the ideal expedition for those wishing to get off the beaten track and ascend a peak and it is located in remote Damodar Himal, close to the border with Tibet. Saribung Peak can be climbed without any special climbing gears as you need to climb other peaks. This is the long version to climbing Saribung with trekking in the hidden valley of Naar and Phu. During your trip to Saribung Peak you’ll see the magnificent views of snow-capped mountains, visit the mysterious Upper Mustang, trekking in the most popular Annapurna Conservation Area, several passes and remote Naar & Phu Valley at the end of the trip. Saribung Peak can be climbed clockwise starting from Jomsom/Upper Mustang. However cost for climbing Upper Mustang will be quite costly due to trekking in restricted area Mustang and have to cross several passes before reaching Saribung Peak. Trekking Experts offers this low cost Saribung starting from Besi Sahar/Koto.
