Hungchi

Hungchi rises to 7,029 meters in the Mahalangur Himal range, featuring steep snow-covered slopes and narrow ridges that lead to its peak.

Japanese mountaineers Kanji Shimizu, Tadashi Morita, and Katsuo Fukuhara completed the first ascent via the Southwest Ridge in April 2003.

Local Sherpa guides share their mountain knowledge with international climbing teams, maintaining traditional practices while supporting expeditions to the summit.

Spring months provide the most favorable conditions for climbing, with permits and professional guides required for all summit attempts.

French climbers Charles Dubouloz and Symon Welfringer established a new route called 'Le cavalier sans tête' on the West Face in May 2023.
