The Nun Kun mountain massif consists of a pair of Himalayan twin peaks: Nun (7135 m / 23,409 ft) and its neighbor Kun (7077 m / 23,219 ft). Nun Peak is located in the remote landscape of the Zanskar ranges in northern India and is the highest mountain in the region. Climbing this peak is a great chance to get high altitude climbing experience on a classic expedition. Easy accessibility by road and the shortest possible approach march to reach base camp makes Nun one of the most attractive mountaineering destinations in the Western Himalaya.
