A compact group of twin ranges crowning the Suru Valley (and overall Jammu-Kashmir) are Nun Kun mountains. The massif is the highest peaks of Zanskar range and is divided by a plateau covered with snow of around four kilometers. Suru Valley in itself one of the most wonderful valleys of Ladakh as a number of peaks surround it. It is one of the oldest and most adventurous treks. It will bring you close to the extreme serenity and paradisiacal beauty of Jammu and Kashmir.
In the Mount Nun Climb, our focus will be on just the Mountain Nun. The mountain was first explored as a trek through a French-Swiss Expedition along with Sherpas of India in 1953.
