Kimshung, Mountain summit in Rasuwa District, Nepal.
Kimshung rises to an elevation of 6,781 meters, featuring steep slopes, glaciers, and commanding views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.
The peak remained unclimbed until 2017 when Swiss mountaineers Alex Gammeter and Philipp Bührer made the first documented attempt via Kimshung Glacier.
The mountain lies within Langtang National Park, where local communities maintain traditional practices while adapting to increasing mountain tourism.
Access to Kimshung requires proper acclimatization, mountaineering permits, and technical climbing equipment due to its high elevation and glacial terrain.
The mountain features two distinct glaciers: Kimshung Glacier on its eastern flank and Lirung Glacier on the western side.
