Gurja Himal, Mountain summit in Gandaki Province, Nepal.
Located in the Dhaulagiri massif, Gurja Himal rises to an elevation of 7,193 meters, featuring steep slopes and glaciated terrain throughout its structure.
Japanese mountaineers achieved the first recorded ascent of Gurja Himal on November 1, 1969, with climbers Tomokuni Saeki and Lhakpa Tenzing Sherpa reaching the summit.
The mountain's name originates from the nearby village of Gurja, where local communities maintain traditional practices and customs in the shadow of this peak.
Accessing Gurja Himal requires a journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara, followed by a drive to Beni and a 52-kilometer trek through multiple villages to base camp.
The mountain's climbing route spans 11.4 kilometers from base camp to summit, requiring approximately 50 days for a complete expedition through varied terrain.
