Kun Peak

Kun Peak is a 7,077-metre Himalayan summit in the Nun Kun massif of the Zanskar Range in Suru Valley, Kargil district, Ladakh, near Tangole village. Paired with Nun Peak to its west, it dominates the Suru Valley landscape. Notable as one of the highest peaks in Ladakh accessible for mountaineering expeditions, it attracts experienced climbers and offers views of glaciers, Suru Valley and the Great Himalayan Range.

Visitors can expect a high-altitude Himalayan peak in the Nun Kun massif surrounded by glaciers, snowfields and the Suru Valley. The area is accessed via Tangole village which serves as base camp for expeditions. Visitors see twin peaks Nun and Kun, Parkachik Glacier, and expansive valley views. The site is remote with no built structures on the peak itself; activity is limited to trekking to base camp, photography, sightseeing and mountaineering for equipped climbers.

Kun Peak was first climbed in 1913 by an Italian expedition led by Mario Piacenza. The Nun Kun massif was surveyed during early 20th-century Himalayan exploration and remains one of the earliest 7000m peaks climbed in the western Himalaya.
