Overview

Nun(7135m) is one of the highest peak of Suruvalley which is located in Zanskar Himalayas. The massif is located near the Suru Valley, about 250 km (160 miles) east of Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir. Due to quick access from Leh to base camp and the ease with which a climbing permit can now be obtained, these are good options for those looking for an affordable 7,000er in quick time. The most frequented climbing area, the Nun-Kun massif comprises of several peaks, chief among them being Nun (7135m) and Kun (7087m). Nun is approachable both from Tangol (70 km. from Kargil) and Gulmatongo (110km. from kargil). Some attempts are also made from Parkachik (90km south of kargil) along the parkachik glacier.
