Chalung Peak Expedition – Alpine Summit Adventure in the Wild Heart of Ladakh
Chalung Peak (6,446 meters), located in the remote high-altitude region of Ladakh, offers a stunning Himalayan climbing experience for adventurous trekkers. Rising above the stark landscape near Tso Moriri Lake, this expedition is a great stepping stone for climbers transitioning from trekking to mountaineering. The journey begins in Leh and passes through the culturally rich Korzok and Sumdho villages, combining traditional Ladakhi life with raw alpine terrain. With glacier crossings, acclimatization at 5,500m base camp, and a summit push under starlit skies, the Chalung Peak expedition is an epic blend of culture, challenge, and high-altitude beauty.
