Located in Lahaul valley of Himachal Pradesh, Mt. Yunam is a 6000m trekking peak which is not a technical climb but is quite challenging because of the high altitude. It lies on the border of Himachal and Ladakh
This enduring climb is a great choice for aspiring mountaineers who have had experienced difficult and enduring high altitude treks.
This peak also serves as an easy acclimating climb for 7 thousand meter peaks.
The approach starts from a tented seasonal colony high up near Baralacha pass called Bharatpur lying at an altitude of 4000m + altitude.
Trail to this summit is comprised of scree & boulders. It is a great alternative to Stok Kangri and Mt. Kanamo but more rewarding in terms of the views from the top with one being able to see multiple glacier systems, CB and Zanskar ranges and Mulkila Peak along with some green blue glacier lakes.
