Kun Peak

Kun Peak rises to an elevation of 7,077 meters as part of the Nun Kun massif, positioned in the western section of the Himalayan mountain range.

Mario Piacenza completed the first recorded ascent of Kun Peak in 1913 via the north-east ridge, followed by an Indian Army expedition fifty-eight years later.

The surrounding area near Kun Peak contains traditional stone structures and prayer flags, representing the spiritual connection between local communities and the mountains.

Mountaineers planning to climb Kun Peak require previous experience at elevations above 6,500 meters and must carefully monitor weather conditions during their expedition.

The summit connects to neighboring Nun Peak through a four-kilometer snow plateau, forming a distinct geographical formation in the Ladakh region.
