Soaking in the views of many iconic treks in a single trek
Located in the heart of Spiti at an altitude of 5970 m, Mount Kanamo towers behind the villages of Chicham and Kibber in the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary. The trek to the top of Mount Kanamo offers 360° views of Trans-Himalayan landscapes and the many majestic peaks of Ladakh, Spiti, Pin Parvati Pass, Parang La, and Kinnaur. To stand at the top of this peak is a magical moment, and an up-close experience of Kanamo’s sister, Shilla Peak, is the cherry on top.
Please Note: This is a trek for people with prior climbing experience at higher altitudes.
