MT. YUNAM PEAK EXPEDITION

from ₹0.00

Yunam Peak (6110 Mts.) is located near Baralacha pass on the border of Himachal Pradesh & Jammu & Kashmir states. The Yunam peak expedition base camp is just a few kilometers from Baralachha Pass on Manali Leh highway. A soaring presence in the Lahaul-Spiti locale, the Yunam Peak is not entirely unknown to those who have travelled by the Leh – Manali highway, though it is not as frequently climbed as the Stok and other peaks of the same club. The summit of Yunam has a great vantage point for an outstanding view of the C.B. (Chandra Bhaga) Range and Mulkilla Range, and this is just one of the reasons to scale the peak.

    At this juncture, the massive altitude gain will start showing its colours. Mild headache, nausea, and loss of appetite is common. Therefore, day 4 is kept entirely for adjusting to the climate and let the body tune to the thinning air and temperature hitting the lows.
