India - Twin peaks Nun Kun

Website | tumblr | Facebook | Twitter

 

The twin peaks of Nun (7135m) and Kun (7087m) are the biggest and the highest attraction in the Suru valley. The contrast of the perennially snow covered Nun and the barren Kun add to the mystic of the place.

 

Suru valley stretches from Kargil right up to the Penzi la after which the Zanskar valley starts. It is the greenest valley of the Greater Himalayas.

 

Every village in the Suru valley takes pride in the view it affords of the Nun and the Kun peaks. We trekked up the Parkachik la and the top, at a height of around 4200m presented us with views of both the peaks and the entire Nun-Kun massif. Worthy prize for the effort!
