We are happy to bring back the Kanamo Peak Expedition, one of the highest trekkable summits in India. This beautiful trek of Himachal Pradesh was paused since 2020 and now opened again for trekkers.
Kanamo Peak trek takes you to an impressive height of 19,553 ft. The summit gives you amazing views of Kinnaur, Lahaul and Spiti Valleys. This trek lets you experience the rarely seen beauty of rugged mountains of Himachal. You trek through dry mountain deserts with very little greenery, and patches of snow near the summit.
Kanamo Peak is one of the most loved expeditions, because of its scenic beauty and the beautiful trail. Apart from its scenic beauty, something which makes this trek special is its accessibility. Trekking a peak over 19,000 meters usually requires technical equipment, while this is one such rare peak which hardly requires technical mountaineering gear, only a good fitness level and experience.
This trek is suitable to trekkers with a decent previous trekking experience. The terrains are tough, and being at such high altitude the risk of AMS is higher. Symptoms like headache, nausea and dizziness are common, but they should not be ignored. The summit day is again tough, but the amazing views make up for it.
From the summit you get a 360 degrees view of surrounding peaks and valleys. You can easily spot peaks of Spiti, Kinnaur and Ladakh. You can also spot the Parang La and Pin Parvati Pass in the distance. The views are just amazing!
Himachal is one of the most beautiful states, and during this expedition you get to explore the beauty of the rugged side including the Spiti Valley. Here are the major stopovers and key destinations you get to visit during Kanamo Peak Expedition with Trek The Himalayas.
Kanamo Peak trek is a challenging grade trek, since the change in altitude is significant, and requires proper acclimatisation and guidance. Here is a peek into the itinerary we follow, we have added two whole days for rest, acclimatisation and training.
You can read the detailed itinerary here.
If you have been waiting for too long to do the Kanamo Peak expedition, and find yourself a perfect fit for this one, you should not be waiting anymore. The bookings are now open for the August batches which is the ideal month for this trek. By this time, there is no harsh snow blocking your way, the views are clear and beautiful, and the daily weather is comfortable for trekking.
The currently open batches are from 23rd August to 29 August, and 30 August to 5 September. Book your slots before they fill out, and for any assistance feel free to reach out to us.

You know, a lot of times we come across something so surreal that even its existence leaves us wondering how something so magnificent can exist. And believe it or not, that’s exactly how I felt when I first set foot in Ranthan Kharak.
A trekker often visits the Himalayas in the search of catching a glimpse of some giant peaks, exploring the lush green valleys, and sometimes reconnecting with their true selves while being surrounded by the mountains. In quest to gain such an experience, many trekkers seek a trek that offers it all. From being transformative to unforgettable, it should have it all.
We often describe the Himalayas as an epitome of unmatched beauty, but we keep forgetting where that true unmatched beauty truly lies. That magical beauty is not present just in their landscapes, but it also lies in that ever-changing surrounding that we experience on the journey that the mountains offer us.
There is no denying the fact that the Himalayas are home to countless unexplored places that are beautiful beyond our imagination.
There are, and there will be, countless journeys that you will go on throughout your lifetime, but only a few of them are going to stay close to your heart, and one of them will be the ‘Gaumukh Tapovan Trek’. A journey that will not only challenge your body, but it will also touch your soul. This 8-day journey will take you to the Garhwal region of Uttarkashi, where you will experience both adventure and spirituality in the mountains and gain a sense of peace in solitude.
Just like some heartwarming movies you keep rewatching, there are places you hope to visit every once in a while. Those places have their own magic that can’t be expressed in words but can only be felt while being there. So, to give you a similar kind of experience, we have a place to recommend for you all.
Walking on the rugged, unknown terrain of the mountains is one of those few experiences that makes you feel very different yet calming inside. But to achieve that feeling, not only do you have to plan a trip to the mountain, you are also supposed to carry gear and other things that are important for trekking.
Standing at the base of any mountain, while staring at the peak of that mountain. A lot is felt by a trekker, from feeling stunned, admiration, to a quick rush of adrenaline, to scared, and then self-doubting yourself, asking - Can I really do this? When a trekker starts climbing a mountain, it’s not just always about claiming the peak. Often, trekking is more about learning and getting to know the mountains. After getting familiar with the mountains, you start understanding the challenges the mountains carry within themselves, and then you start ascending accordingly.
In general, trekking in the mountains is always categorised as either climbing or walking on the mountain trails. But what a lot of people don’t realise is that with each different grade of expedition, the techniques of climbing and walking on the mountains also change. The thing is that to climb some high grade of mountains, more than basic skills and techniques of climbing are required to learn. In fact, the ‘technical climbing’? It is not just for high-grade level mountain expeditions; this kind of technical knowledge is quite useful even in the easy graded expedition to ensure the safety of the trekker throughout their trek.
Planning a trip is not an easy task, and when it comes to the mountains, a lot of factors need to be considered from a trekker's perspective. And when you are surrounded by all the hustle and bustle of life, planning a trip seems like too much work, right? Well, that’s exactly where trekking companies come into the picture. From booking to planning and ensuring that you receive a once-in-a-lifetime Himalayan experience, they make sure to make all these things happen.
