Hungu Peak is considered as technical and suitable for only people who have mountaineering experience and are physically fit. If you are fit enough and have a sense of adventure you will enjoy and complete the trip successfully.
The program is designed to acclimatize you gradually and not to experience high altitude sickness. However you are requested to check your altitude fitness and the itinerary.
We suggest you strengthen your knee muscles and prepare for several days of steep descents.
Route to Hungu Peak
A twelve hours bus drive to Mahakulung or a tentatively 35 minutes flight from Kathmandu(1400) to Phaplu(2413m) opens up a hiking towards Mahakulung(1900m) , a large Kulung Community of three villages Gudel, Bung and Chheskam. As the hiking initiates, the trail winds forward camping in the beautiful jungles, pastures and rustic settlements inhabited by Khaling and other ethnic groups. En route to Mahakulung valley, leaving the imprints of footsteps, the trekkers move through picturesque settlements like Chyalsa( 2561m) and Budidada(19023m).
Mahakulung, inhabited primarily by Kulung people, is rich in diverse culture and a wide range of flora and fauna. Trekkers can opt for Silichho (4156m) and Salpa(4000) in Mahakulung with an addition of three more days to the itinerary. Silicho Peak is religiously venerated as the abode of God and a famous viewpoint for Everest (8848m), Amadablam(6812m), Lhotse(8516m), Kanchenjunga(8586m), Makalu(8463m), Cho Oyu(8201m) ,Nuptse(7855m) ,Chamlang(7319m) and more than 22 other peaks. On the ascent to Silichho, pristine Salpa Lake (4000m), a lake religiously believed to have healing power enchants with peace and tranquility.
Trailing ahead, the path thereafter takes the tourists via Muddhi(2130m), Dobhan(2723m), Watelma(2905m), all the way to Khongmadingma Valley(4065m),from where the trekkers set off for Mera Peak(6476m) leaving Amphu Lapcha(5845m) aside. Having ascended Mera Peak , the trail then proceeds through wide range of flora and fauna while continuing through Khare(5045m), Kothe(3691m), Chhutanga(4358m) en route to Lukla(2860m), where the trekking formally ends.
